AI agents are entering software development fast. Scaling them into a fundamentally different way of delivering software is proving much harder.

While adoption is growing, most organizations are still early in orchestrating agents across functions and workflows, with many deployments concentrated in relatively low-risk use cases. At the same time, the emerging consensus is that the real value may come not from automation alone, but from designing better collaboration between humans and AI agents.

The shift is from augmenting individuals with AI tools to redesigning teams around human–agent collaboration, with the goal of delivering production-ready software, not just faster coding.

As product and engineering teams experiment with smaller squads, emerging models such as forward deployed engineers, and agent-supported workflows across the development lifecycle, a new question is emerging: what should the next-generation software delivery team actually look like?

Join us for a thought-provoking discussion designed for Product Heads, Engineering Leaders, CTOs, and software delivery executives exploring the shift from agile squads to human–agent squads. The session will be hosted by Shweta Kulkarni, Vice President, Harbinger Group, with Nikita Jain, Founder of Eubrics AI, joining as a panelist. Together, they will explore the move from agile squads to human–agent squads, and what leaders need to consider as they rethink how software gets built and delivered.
