Drawing on conversations with leaders at over half of the Fortune 500, this presentation reveals an emerging pattern: software development is changing in ways most businesses aren't prepared for, extending well beyond AI tools and productivity gains into fundamental shifts in who builds software, how decisions get made, and how work happens. As software escapes the boundaries of engineering teams, leaders across finance, operations, product, and strategy are rethinking who can safely build and modify software, how development velocity is governed, and what "good" productivity even means.
