Our Journey to Agentification
summary
A mandate forces 100 engineering leaders to ship a feature in one quarter and Cisco measures outcomes with a post-challenge survey: surprising result — former coders who hadn’t coded in 10+ years report the biggest leadership change while daily coders show almost no change; senior leaders enjoy it most, senior managers struggle most. The org builds AMOS (Agentic Management Operating System) as an agent-powered knowledge layer, spins up cross-functional AI squads, and prototypes the decaf declarative agentic framework to remove SDLC bottlenecks.
