Agentic AI delivery is a software delivery model where autonomous agents execute development tasks inside a governed software development lifecycle (SDLC), operating within architectural guardrails, dependency-ordered backlogs, and test-gated workflows. In Part 1 and Part 2 of this series, we introduced agentic AI delivery as an enterprise software delivery model and explored how governed, autonomous execution can operate within a …
