Battery Ventures: Agentic Coding is Reshaping the Software Development Lifecycle
rseroter · x · 2026-08-04
Battery Ventures argues that a new agentic Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) is emerging alongside the rise of AI-driven coding.
This reimagined SDLC retains core elements of the traditional lifecycle but introduces new infrastructure paradigms tailored for AI automation:
- Always-on PMs: Dedicated roles to continuously coordinate and manage AI development tasks.
- Software Factories: Re-architected code storage, security protocols, and sandbox environments to support the high-concurrency, automated workflows of AI coding agents.
