This is the third part of a six part series investigating how generative AI productivity tools aimed at developers, like Github Copilot, ChatGPT and Amazon CodeWhisperer might impact the structure of entire product engineering teams.
In Part 2, we explored:
- How generative AI tools like ChatGPT are redefining the way product engineering teams approach coding — from generating user stories to writing the actual code.
- How tasks often perceived as tedious by developers, like writing tests and documentation, can now be easily and efficiently handled by AI, making the entire coding process more streamlined.
- The crucial importance of tests and the potential future of prompt-engineered applications that might be initiated with thoughtful test design.
- A vision of the future where Generative AI tools reshape the roles within product engineering teams and the profound implications for engineers and leaders.
