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.
