AI is transforming how we build and deliver software — but more code doesn’t always mean more value. In fact, AI is exposing cracks in delivery pipelines, slowing throughput, and creating new risks.
In this webinar, Adeeb Valiulla (Director of Technical Program Management, Harness) explains how to move beyond vanity metrics and dashboards to implement true Engineering Intelligence. You’ll learn how to translate engineering data into business outcomes, balance the three north stars of engineering (Efficiency, Productivity, Alignment), and operationalize improvements with real-world playbooks.
🔑 Key Takeaways
⇴ Why AI accelerates coding but strains delivery pipelines
⇴ How to balance Efficiency, Productivity, and Alignment (E/P/A)
⇴ Converting metrics like Lead Time, Deployment Frequency, and CFR into hours and dollars
⇴ Playbooks and a 90-day framework to operationalize insights
⇴ Proof points from industries including Banking, Cybersecurity, and Information Technology
