Room: Salon H With great power comes great responsibility—and yes, coding agents can backfire if they’re not thoughtfully deployed. Instead of boosting productivity, they can frustrate developers, slow down progress, and even diminish your competitive edge. Join Dave Ahr, as he unpacks three essential strategies organizations should embrace when scaling agentic coding agents enterprise-wide. Drawing from firsthand lessons and internal experiments—where agents effectively resolved nearly half the tasks we threw at them—we’ll share real-world scenarios showcasing engineering work AI agents excelled at. We’ll also highlight where they fell short, detailing what went wrong and what we’d do differently next time. You’ll walk away understanding: *How realistic expectations ensure AI boosts rather than hinders productivity. *Why effective human-agent collaboration is critical for developer satisfaction and innovation. *How clear governance frameworks can prevent technical debt and keep productivity flowing. Learn from our experiences and ensure your organization’s deployment of AI coding agents empowers your developers, ignites innovation, and solidifies your market leadership.
