Think Agile Alliance’s big yearly conference is all about coaches and Post-it notes?
Think again!
Agile2025 is packed with sessions for builders, coders, architects, and anyone who gets excited about systems, AI, and shipping better software. Whether you’re deep in the code or leading a technical team through chaos and complexity, this year’s program has plenty to sink your teeth into.
Here’s a taste. You can see the full Agile2025 program here.
Writing Code with Agentic AI – Nicholas Parker
Learn how to build real applications with AI coding agents like Cline and Windsurf while using Agile practices to manage complexity, maintain code quality, and avoid common pitfalls of AI-generated code.
GenAI in the Hot Seat: Halting Hallucinations & Securing AI – Marty Bradley
In this hands-on workshop, learn how to integrate Evaluation Driven Development into your CI/CD pipeline to catch hallucinations, secure your GenAI systems, and ensure reliable performance in production.
Vibe Coding: Rapid Prototyping as a Product Development Catalyst – Ankur Mathur
Explore AI-powered “vibe coding” in this hands-on workshop where product managers rapidly prototype apps using natural language, bridging the gap between ideas and engineering with functional, collaborative artifacts.
Test-Driven Development: Exploring the Spaces in Between – Ted M. Young
Go beyond “Red, Green, Refactor” in this session that reveals the hidden thinking and practical heuristics experienced developers use to make Test-Driven Development lead to better design and fewer bugs.
Observability: Coding With Our Eyes Open – Jessica Kerr
Discover how adding observability to your code creates powerful feedback loops that illuminate architecture, user behavior, and business impact, helping you design smarter, more responsive systems.
If they don’t want Agile, Offer XP (eXtreme Programming) instead! – Markus Silpala
In a world where “Agile” has lost its meaning, this session shares the story of a long-lived team that quietly thrived by embracing eXtreme Programming values and practices—delivering adaptable, lasting software through real-world change.
Developing at the Cutting Edge on a Legacy Budget – Lara Newsom
Learn practical strategies for balancing innovation with reality as this session explores how to modernize legacy systems, manage technical debt, and automate workflows—all without blowing your budget.
Architecture in a Forest – Beth Andres-Beck
Explore creative, practical techniques for evolving software architecture in growing teams, blending Domain-Driven Design, modular thinking, and cross-team alignment to support real-world development, not just review boards.
Cost Versus Stability in a Cloud Environment – Cat Swetel
Learn why the trade-off between cost and stability in cloud environments is often a myth, and explore real-world examples that show how building for stability can actually reduce costs and drive smarter engineering decisions.
So no, Agile2025 isn’t just for coaches and culture changers. It’s also for you, the technologist. The one who has to make it all work.
Once again, you can see the complete conference agenda here. Join us and be part of shaping what Agile in tech really looks like at Agile2025!
