Agentic SDLC

  • Agentic Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) is an approach that integrates autonomous agents into the software development process.
  • This method decreases human intervention by allowing AI agents to handle various stages of development, from requirements gathering to deployment and maintainance.
  • It reduces the cycle time for SW development. Traditional SDLC takes weeks-to-months, while Agentic SDLC can potentially reduce this to days or even hours.
