This field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.

While the C-suite are betting on AI for much-anticipated productivity gains, developers face fresh challenges as non-engineering functions make their first forays into vibe coding and rapid prototyping.

This leaves engineering teams exposed to a potential flood of novel demands from non-technical colleagues. Instead of being a blocker to this wave of innovation, engineering leaders may be forced to create a new set of guardrails and on ramps for these users, and a communication strategy to unite your organization on what’s possible.

In this panel discussion, our experts will share strategies on how to bridge this expectation gap while keeping your colleagues on-side. We’ll share tips for tempering expectations, keeping the lines of communication open in cross-functional teams, and how to set guardrails without gatekeeping.

Key takeaways:

  • How vibe coding is shifting who can do what in organizations
  • Defining clear cross-functional workflows and shared goals in the AI era
  • Protecting your team’s focus without blocking other functions
  • Managing expectations upwards when it comes to AI
