AI Changed the Rules for Teamwork—Are You Ready?

AI writes code in parallel, discovers and fixes problems in production, and incorporates customer feedback in real-time. Using agentic AI in software development is not just adding a new tool to your workflow like Git or CI/CD; it redefines how developers get work done.

If agents step in as our technical advisors, coaches, and strategic partners, how will humans work together? Do we still need traditional teams? Will we plan our work together? Is this the end of the cross-functional team?

Let’s throw out the crystal ball and see what’s possible today and how teams are already transforming their ways of working. One thing is clear: we must recalibrate how we work together.
