Pragmatic Agility Now More than Ever. Adapt and Thrive in the Age of AI with Agility and DevEx
Twenty-five years after its creation, the Agile Manifesto remains more vital than ever—yet "Agile" has become one of the most misused and misunderstood terms in our industry.
The rise of "vibe coding" powered by advanced AI agents introduces profound new uncertainty. These tools can dramatically accelerate team strengths—amplifying collaboration, flow, and delivery—or magnify existing weaknesses at unprecedented speed, from poor communication to fragmented processes.
In this timely talk, Jon Kern—co-author of the Agile Manifesto and lifelong software practitioner—teams up with Dr. Anita Zbieg, expert in Developer Experience (DevEx) and team collaboration dynamics, to explore how timeless Agile principles, combined with modern DevEx insights, provide the essential foundation for thriving in an AI-augmented era of software development.
