Scaling Spec Driven Development with AI at the Enterprise Level
Aula at PROGR, Speichergasse 4, Aula, Bern, CHAbstract
AI makes coding faster, but we’re still stuck with the same old problem: code becomes the source of truth. What if we flipped this around?This talk shows a new way to build software: Write your requirements once. Let AI generate everything else - diagrams, models, code, and tests. When requirements change, everything updates automatically. No more outdated docs.
You’ll see how to write requirements that AI understands and keep everything connected from business needs to working code. Based on a real-world project, we will see how this works in practice. This isn’t about replacing developers. Let AI handle the boring stuff so you can focus on what matters - understanding what the business needs.
