I’m a senior dev with 9 YOE. I’ve had a growth chat with my manager and he suggested that I bring forth a best practices doc and a presentation to present to the whole company to help me gain some recognition across the org. He wants me to come up with best practices in a topic (let’s say domain driven design) which I haven’t done before. There’s a project coming up where we’ll be doing some DDD and this is kind of in preparation for that project too. But, in order to write best practices, we should actively work on it, try things that succeed or fail, right? I’ve been postponing doing this until I’ve gained this context. But my manager asked me about my progress on this doc and he seems disappointed that I don’t have a working doc yet on it even though I told him what’s holding me back. Am I approaching this the wrong way?

Has your team successfully incorporated AI into your SDLC? If so, what does sprint planning and estimation sessions look like? Are there any new ways to break down tasks?

Our team is trying to change our SDLC to account for the fact that the code is written by AI agents, reviewed partially by AI as well. A big chunk of work lies in tech planning. So we have started allocating more time into tech plans and reviews, less story points for coding. The biggest bottleneck is reviews which we’re thinking of eliminating by doing mob planning sessions. I would love to hear how other teams have adapted to the AI driven SDLC.
