As AI agents enter the software development lifecycle, organizational complexity multiplies through blurred roles, overlapping responsibilities, and new accountability gaps. Having scaled developer infrastructure at Google, built collaborative data platforms at Observable, and led multi-agent systems at Jasper, Melody will share frameworks, design patterns and real-world examples for guiding teams through this change while keeping trust, culture, and execution intact.
