Book Launch & Workshop: The AI‑DLC Handbook – Reimagining Software Development with AI
📖 Event Description
Artificial Intelligence is reshaping how software is built—but most development lifecycles have not evolved to reflect this shift.
Join us at the AWS Office, Bengaluru for the official launch of📘 The AI‑DLC Handbook: Reimagining Software Development with AIby Bhuvaneswari Subramani, AWS Hero, AWS Ambassador, and Google Women Techmakers Ambassador.
The event will begin with a book launch announcement by Raja SP, followed by a panel discussion with industry leaders on how AI‑Driven Development Lifecycle (AI‑DLC) is changing the way teams design, build, and maintain software systems.
AI‑DLC reimagines traditional SDLC by bringing humans and AI into a single, continuous flow—where AI actively participates across planning, coding, testing, and validation, while humans remain accountable for direction, quality, and decision‑making.
In addition to the launch and panel discussion, attendees will have the opportunity to:
Interact with the author during a book signing and meet‑and‑greetParticipate in a hands‑on workshop on AI‑DLC, focused on practical adoption and real‑world workflows by AWS experts and AWS Heroes
This event is designed to be practical, experience‑driven, and community‑focused, emphasizing responsible and human‑led AI adoption in modern software engineering.
