State of AI4SDLC at DevOpsConf 2026 (Category DevOps)

Tomorrow I'm the first to open DevOpsConf. report In the main hall, I'll talk about our AI4SDLC research, and what it means to us as software engineers. I will talk about how new development processes look like, how they are implemented in foreign bigtechs, as well as how we operate at T-Bank.

In general, my speech will consist of the following parts:

1How does the industry feel? Here I will tell you about our AI4SDLC study, which we conducted at the end of last year, which consisted of a meta-study and a survey of about a thousand respondents from all over Russia. We wanted to answer questions. In what tasks AI is used most often, and where is it rare? How Productivity and Quality Changes Relate (surveys, telemetry, experiments)? How trust in AI code is linked to verification practices (Review, tests, quality gates)? What elements of the process turn an individual effect into a team effect? The results are available. here

2From classic PDLC to AI-native development Here I’ll talk about the industry’s shift from classical processes to AI-native, what it looks like and why it’s happening. Here I will share signals from Western bigtech companies, and also tell you how we are going in about the same direction. On this subject I have detail On my website, tellmeabout.tech.

3From AI-native development to AI-native organization Here I will talk about how, following the development processes, the design of companies begins to change. Here again there will be signals from Western big tech companies + reflections on why this is happening, what advantages it gives and what issues need to be solved. On this subject I have detail On my website, tellmeabout.tech.

4From classic task management to AI-native: how the unit of work itself changes. Atlassian and Linear, which practice different approaches to task management, are market leaders for corporations and startups respectively. On this subject I have detail On my website, tellmeabout.tech.

5How bigtechs plan to implement AI-native development at home 2026 year. Here, I’ll talk about how bigtechs approach organizing this transition and setting goals within the organization, and how they plan to measure outcomes. On this subject I have detail On my website, tellmeabout.tech.

P.S. We have a separate website. ai4sdlc.tbank.ru About our AI solutions for development. And we not only use them internally, but also sell them to large companies.

P.P.S. If you're on the phone, you can catch me and talk to me.
