Innovation doesn’t just come from serendipity. Leaders who nurture great ideas rely on concrete mechanisms to ensure that they see the right ideas, give them breathing room to development, and connect dots throughout their organizations. In any company, the challenge with innovation is seldom the volume of ideas. The challenge lies with having ideas that are related to emerging trends, involve more than the company can do on its own, require nurturing, and are cross-functional in nature.

Most of the talk about the impact of GenAI on software development is about its ability to write (messy) code. But many of us think it's going to be much more useful to help us understand existing messy code, as part of a modernization effort. My colleagues Alessio Ferri , Tom Coggrave , and Shodhan Sheth have been considering how GenAI can do this , including building an internal tool to help explore the possibilities.

Writing code for a computer is hard enough. You take something big and fuzzy, some large vague business outcome you want to achive. Then you break it down recursively and think about all the cases until you have clear logical statements a computer can follow. Computers are very good at following logical statements. Now, let's crank it up a notch. Let's try to write code for humans !

To Ragland, who also sits on several state agency and non-profit boards, one of the greatest responsibilities for today’s boards is in governing cyber security risk. And while board members are generally tuned in to the importance of cyber governance, they don’t always understand the true risks with cyber and their own governing role.

Coding assistants have been an obvious early use case in the generative AI gold rush, but promised productivity improvements are falling short of the mark — if they exist at all. Many developers say AI coding assistants make them more productive, but a recent study set forth to measure their output and found no significant gains.

They describe how GenAI's ability to process unstructured information makes it much easier to build a capability map of a legacy system, tying the capabilities of a system to the relevant parts of the source code. GenAI is also useful for identifying areas of dead code, and has promise for better translations of a system between platforms and languages.

Cycle Time is a measure of how long it takes to get a new feature in a software system from idea to running in production. In Agile circles, we try to minimize cycle time. We do this by defining and implementing very small features and minimizing delays in the development process. Although the rough notion of cycle time, and the importance of reducing it, is common, there is a lot of variations on how cycle time is measured.
