Full Lifecycle AI Software Teams Meetup
The Full Lifecycle AI Software Teams Meetup is a monthly gathering for engineers, product managers, designers, QA, technical leaders, and founders building AI-first software teams.
This meetup focuses on the practical realities of agentic software delivery:
how teams coordinate work across humans and agents
how planning and execution change in an AI-first workflow
how engineering organizations measure performance in the agentic era
how teams manage context, review quality, and operational cost as AI usage scales
This month we’ll cover two topics:
Beyond DORA: The New Metrics for AC/DC (Agentic Coding Delivery Cycle)
DORA metrics still matter, but they do not fully capture what happens when agents are planning, coding, reviewing, and executing work in parallel.
We’ll discuss:
new KPIs for agentic engineering workflows
review burden and coordination overhead
context reuse and shared visibility
cost per validated change
how engineering leaders and ICs should think about performance in an agentic world
Are You Ready for Metered Token Billing on June 15?
As headless sessions and agent workflows move toward usage-based economics, teams need to think differently about token spend, execution efficiency, and operational discipline.
We’ll discuss:
how startups should think about token economics
the operational implications of metered agent workflows
balancing speed, quality, and cost
what “cost-effective” agentic development actually looks like
This meetup is technical, candid, and practitioner-focused.
No generic “AI changes everything” takes. Just real discussions from people actively building AI-first software teams.
