I met Sree Pradhip (LinkedIn) through LinkedIn and we recently connected in person at Tech Alpharetta . What was a introduction meeting turned into an engaging white board conversation and a deep dive into how AI is reshaping SDLC with an emphasis on roles and process. It was so engaging, we decided to do it again and record it so we could share it.
Main Topics We Covered:
How AI is reshaping traditional roles from product managers to developers to testers.
The evolving cadence of software delivery and qestioning the viability of 2-week sprints in an AI-accelerated world.
The rise of AI teammates who can help with coding and testing and even PR merging and sprint planning assistance.
The future of QA, possibly using reverse documentation and prompt testing to validate AI-driven workflows.
We called it a move from Agile to Agentic. It’s not a new methodology, but a mindset shift. It’s to reframe how we work together. Humans + AI leveraging AI native and enabled tools structured by new processes.
Some Key Takeaways:
✔️ Tools are evolving rapidly. From Cursor to Replit, AI can now write code, review PRs, generate documentation, and even trigger deployments.
✔️ Roles are blending. Product Managers are becoming builders. QA is shifting from writing test cases to strategic oversight. Devs are collaborating with AI teammates.
⚠️ But Process — that’s the part that hasn’t caught up yet.
