If you\u2019re in IT, this is not new news \u2014 IT teams are overwhelmed. If you have a project (or five) that you need to \u201ccircle back to\u201d, you\u2019re not alone. With project requests jumping 18% compared to last year<\/a>, it\u2019s not hard to imagine why 1 in 3 IT projects miss their deadlines<\/a>. The expected timeline from ideation to deployment is getting shorter and shorter, but scalability and security still need to be top of mind along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enter agent and application lifecycle management (ALM). This methodology balances flexibility and structure to support fast-paced, mixed-coding environments, along with security and governance needs. With a strong ALM process, teams can have clear project specs, better testing data, secure data that adheres to key regulations, and streamlined systems and workflows to make sure the job is done seamlessly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ultimately, an ALM strategy can help teams keep up, meet deadlines, and deploy their AI agents and apps quickly and securely. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Introducing Agent and Application Lifecycle Management<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Agent and application lifecycle management (ALM) covers the entire journey of building, testing, deploying, and continuously improving AI agents and apps. There are five main stages: 1) Ideate and plan, 2) Build, 3) Test, 4) Observe, and 5) Deploy. Throughout the entire process, governance is baked into each stage to ensure consistency, compliance, and reliability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In other words, ALM is a system that helps IT teams manage their projects consistently to ensure they\u2019re meeting their deployment deadlines. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the age of agentic AI<\/a>, it\u2019s easy to get caught up in the boundless benefits that this technology can help your business achieve. However, in order to turn hype into a strong AI implementation strategy, it\u2019s critical to take a step back, reflect, and learn from others to build the future. In a chat with Chief Data Officer at Zurich Insurance, Alex Sidgreaves<\/a> and Salesforce Product Marketing Director, Alli Jaeggi, unpacked software development in the age of agentic AI. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To foster your organization\u2019s AI transformation, here are four key takeaways from their conversation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lesson 1: Connect early, communicate often<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIdeate and plan\u201d is the first step of the ALM process, and for good reason. Before the first line of code is even written, everyone should be on the same page. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intentional, thoughtful planning helps minimize technical debt and compliance headaches down the line. By connecting teams and stakeholders early, everyone can agree on shared goals and expectations. Team members can understand project requirements, testing needs, security standards, and how changes will be managed throughout the project lifecycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deeper into the process, consistent communication keeps business stakeholders closely involved. Providing relevant updates and transparency, in turn, builds trust and buy-in for your agents and apps. And, when quick decisions need to be made, there is less time needed to catch up and more time finding a solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lesson 2: Find the right tools<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Low-code and no-code tools are becoming standard practice in modern development, and the use of AI is quickly gaining traction. And it\u2019s no surprise why that is: majority (84%) of developers who use AI say it helps their teams complete projects faster<\/a>. AI as a coding partner for code generation assistance, test case creation, and other repetitive tasks \u2014 helps developers focus on the bigger picture, like fine-tuning AI-driven solutions and orchestrating strategy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the end of the day,\u00a0AI is meant to support the stack, not own it. From traditional software development, low-<\/a> and no-code tools, and now the emergence of \u201cvibe coding<\/a>\u201d \u2014 developers have a plethora of tools at their disposal. It\u2019s just a matter of identifying the best use cases for AI to accelerate the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lesson 3: Build in layers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Agentic AI is new and exciting, but it\u2019s important to be mindful how it fits with business goals. Rather than trying to integrate AI into every workflow and process all at once, organizations can start by evaluating key priorities and where AI could be a high-impact, high-value solution. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDon\u2019t be afraid to build your AI capabilities in stages. The first layer might simply provide new insights.\u201d says Sidgreaves. Starting with smaller projects can equip teams to learn the lessons to tackle the more complex problems later. The way teams organise their projects can also support this iterative strategy. Sidegreaves shared that by creating a modular architecture using sandbox environments<\/a>, teams can break down a big project into smaller, more manageable steps. In turn, enabling more agility to make updates quickly and adjust as teams learn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lesson 4: Accelerate with governance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Traditionally, organizations have used a more reactive approach when it came to security, compliance, and governance. However, in today\u2019s tech landscape, where cybersecurity threats are getting more sophisticated and the need to have an abundance of quality data is essential \u2014 a proactive approach is essential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Jaeggi puts it, \u201cTomorrow\u2019s innovations are being built with today\u2019s processes and tools.\u201d Delivering powerful agents and apps requires a balance of speed, innovation, and reliability. In order to do so, governance needs to be considered as an essential component of innovation \u2014 not a bottleneck. DevSecOps, short for development, security, and operations, is all about integrating security into every stage of the software development lifecycle (SDLC), rather than at the end. This way teams can identify and catch issues during the design and development phases \u2014 when they\u2019re easier to fix and less expensive to address. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Agentforce 360 Platform<\/a> supports continuous governance across your entire development process with built-in tools designed for security, visibility, and compliance at scale. Whatever the unique security needs your organization has, there\u2019s a tool in the Salesforce security and privacy portfolio<\/a> to help your organization become a trusted Agentic Enterprise<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
