Generative AI is reshaping the software development lifecycle. Beyond code gen, today’s assistants and tools can accelerate planning, development, testing, documentation, maintenance, deployment and more — if you know where they fit and how to operationalize them. This session connects the dots across key phases so teams can move past ad-hoc experiments and start building enhanced workflows with AI. 

We are excited to be joined by Brent Laster, the author of the O’Reilly book — The AI-Enabled SDLC, who is an experienced technologist and trainer. He will take us on a fast-paced tour of where AI can reliably help you produce products today, and how to introduce changes that stick across real engineering teams.


In this webinar you will learn:

  • AI use cases across focused phases of the SDLC so you know where to start and how to expand.
  • Practical applications that work now: AI-assisted code & reviews, targeted test generation, doc drafting/summarization, and more.
  • User roles and prompting strategies for tools and workflows that fit your stack, with guidance for being efficient and effective.

This is a high-impact session for engineering leaders and hands-on practitioners who want concrete, phase-specific ways to incorporate AI into the SDLC and turn experiments into durable practice.
