SPEAKER A:
In the traditional software development cycle, a single request from a client for a new payment provider kicked off a complex maze. Product managers would break down specs. Architects sift through code dependencies. Designers mock up interfaces. Developers code. Testers verify. And across it all, there was a lot of back and forth. This was the old way. This is obsolete. At Publicis Sapient, we are breaking the mold and supercharging the SDLC. We call this new way AI-assisted agile engineering, or the AAA model. Our in-house Gen AI-powered platform, Sapient Slingshot, makes it possible. Let's take a closer look at how that makes our teams different. With Slingshot's agentic approach, product stories are auto-generated in a matter of minutes thanks to backlog AI. Architects use design agents to update impacted components. Developers use coding agents to seamlessly collaborate with designers and instantly translate designs to code. Managers ensure that sprints and JIRA stories are instantly realigned with the AI Scrum Master. Testers use quality engineering agents to rapidly scale test coverage. Within a couple of hours, the team is in sync and locked in. Stories, designs, plans, code stubs and acceptance tests, all ready to go. What once took two weeks, now takes two days. And that time saved, we use it to innovate and go the extra mile. Why stop at adding just a single payment provider? With Slingshot, we added support for multiple, surprising the client with a better, future-ready solution. And that's how our teams are transforming every aspect of the SDLC. This is the new way. Faster. Smarter. Bolder. Because the future doesn't wait. And neither do we.
