PM Insight-Foster City Virtual Meeting:
Pairing with Generative AI to Improve the Developer Experience
Discover how Generative AI is transforming the developer experience, becoming an essential collaborator that alleviates cognitive load by automating repetitive tasks and streamlining workflows. This presentation will explore how AI-driven tools allow developers to focus on high-impact work that enhances customer experiences, rather than getting bogged down in routine coding tasks.
We’ll look at Agile Engineering practices—like Behavior Driven Development (BDD), Test Driven Development (TDD), and Refactoring—and explore how Generative AI complements these methods to accelerate feedback loops, improve flow, and reduce cognitive load for your team. Whether or not you have a technical background, you’ll gain insight into how AI can fundamentally reshape and enhance how we build and improve software.
Takeaways:
- Observe GitHub Copilot in action as it reduces friction and empowers developers to focus on creative problem-solving rather than on tedious tasks
- Explore the DevEx triangle and see how GenAI enhances all three dimensions
- Appreciate the evolving role of AI in Software Development
- Understand how indispensable humans still are in software development
