Intent-Driven Development: A Modern SDLC for AI-Accelerated Teams
The traditional SDLC wasnโt designed for AI-accelerated delivery. When features ship in hours instead of weeks, detailed upfront documentation becomes the bottleneck in an AI-assisted software development lifecycle. As organizations accelerate delivery with AI, most software documentation strategies havenโt kept pace. Practices built for slower, predictable releases struggle with rapid iteration. Modern software delivery teams need a lighter approach that …
