Twelve Essential Engineering Practices to Succeed with AI-Assisted Development

Thu, December 10AI-Native Software DevelopmentAI-Native Applications & Product Systems

AI can accelerate software development, but speed alone does not guarantee successful outcomes. As teams adopt AI-assisted development, the challenge becomes maintaining software quality while increasing development velocity.

This session presents twelve engineering practices that help teams use AI effectively without sacrificing quality, maintainability, or long-term sustainability. Using practical examples, we will examine the habits, technical disciplines, and development approaches that support consistent delivery when AI becomes part of the software development process.

The focus is not on what AI can generate, but on how engineering teams can work with AI responsibly and productively. Attendees will learn how these practices help maintain a high pace of development while avoiding common pitfalls that emerge when speed becomes the primary objective. The session is intended for teams looking to move beyond experimentation and establish effective ways of working with AI in day-to-day software development.

What You Will Learn:

  • Twelve engineering practices that support successful AI-assisted development
  • How to maintain software quality while increasing development speed with AI
  • Common pitfalls that arise when teams prioritize velocity without sufficient engineering discipline

Who Should Attend:

  • Software engineers
  • Technical leads
  • Engineering managers
  • Software architects
  • Development team leads
  • Teams adopting AI-assisted development
  • Developers looking to improve AI-enabled engineering practices
