Pieter Danhieux

AI is changing the role of the developer, accelerating software delivery, and introducing new governance challenges.

In this whitepaper, we introduce The SCW AI Adoption Model(TM): an eight-stage framework that maps the evolution from AI-assisted development to fully agentic software engineering.

You'll learn:

The 8 stages of AI adoption in software development
Where security risks increase as AI autonomy grows
The key governance challenges facing modern development teams
How to align developer capability, visibility, and policy controls across the Agentic Development Lifecycle (ADLC)

Download the whitepaper to explore the future of AI-driven software development.
