Why watch
This webinar explores how AI transforms each phase of the software development lifecycle while introducing new failure modes. Dr. Dan Grahn covers failure modes like scope creep in planning, package hijacking in implementation, overstated test coverage, and error masking in maintenance. The video provides four cornerstones (human leadership, abstraction work, scaled discipline, self-care) and five essential AI skills (understand, explore, direct, evaluate, use responsibly) for software teams integrating AI tools.
