Building software changed forever with AI agents. Code that used to take weeks is written, tested and shipped in days. But that speed is only worth something if you remain the one who steers.
So I kept the agile way of working, and gave it a new engine. In the Agentic Agile Manifesto I describe the workflow I lead at Enrise. Agents write the stories, build the features and run the tests. Humans set the priorities and approve every feature before it is merged.
Every feature travels the same road to production
Every feature gets its own review application, where a developer assesses it on the real thing. Once merged, it is deployed to staging and tested automatically. When the tests pass, it goes live on production by itself. No release day, just one verified feature at a time.
Faster, without giving anything up
Agents bring the speed. Priorities, acceptance criteria and reviews are the steering wheel and the brakes. Together, they speed up the process by about 75%, without losing quality, durability or maintainability.
I use this workflow for Enrise Retro, and for this very website. Check out the site specifications to see how it is built.
