AI for Engineering Leaders: The ROI of AI-assisted SW Development

Lunch & insights from Google’s latest DORA research on AI, the J-curve and what top engineering teams do differently.

AI doesn’t fix a struggling engineering organization. It amplifies what’s already there, for better or worse. That’s one of the clearest findings across DORA’s latest research.

Join us over lunch as we explore the 2025 State of AI-Assisted Software Development and the newly released ROI of AI-Assisted Software Development report, including the “J-Curve” productivity dip that many teams experience early in adoption, and what high-performing engineering organizations do differently to turn AI into real results.

Stephen, Tech Lead in Platform Engineering at one of our larger customers. With experience across the full software stack, from low-level drivers to cloud-native services and frontend development, he’ll share practical lessons on how engineering teams can get more value from AI and avoid common pitfalls.
