The report examines the evolving role of developers in response to the rise of AI technologies within the software development lifecycle (SDLC). AI is transforming the developer workforce by acting as a collaborator rather than replacing human roles, with developers shifting focus from artifact creation to orchestrating workflows, governance, and strategy. The report provides guidance on adapting to these changes, including fostering AI literacy, redefining team roles, implementing governance frameworks, and addressing skill gaps to ensure long-term success in the AI-driven development landscape.
