How do we ensure AI agents become reliable team members rather than sources of chaos? In this meetup, we'll explore the Agentic SDLC - from core principles to practical implementation of an engineering platform that enables effective human-AI collaboration across the development lifecycle. On the Agenda 18:00–18:30 → 🍕 Welcome Drinks & Networking 18:30–19:15 → From Manifesto to Main Branch: A Spec-Driven Approach to the Agentic SDLC Lior Kanfi, CEO & Founder, Tikal AI coding agents promise velocity but often deliver chaos. The root cause is the absence of a shared source of truth, leading to inconsistent "Vibe Coding" where every developer's ad-hoc prompts create unpredictable results. How do we fix this? This talk demonstrates how to solve this by grounding the Twelve-Factor Agentic SDLC in the principles of Spec-Driven Development (SDD). Lior will introduce the agentic-sdlc-spec-kit, an open-source toolkit that makes this practical. Discover how a single /specify command translates a business requirement from an issue tracker into a formal, version-controlled specification. This spec.md becomes the immutable contract that governs the entire AI workflow-from automated planning and implementation to generating risk-based tests. Join us to learn how to move from unpredictable prompting to a governed, spec-driven system that turns your AI from a clever gadget into a reliable, accountable team member. 19:15–20:00 → Bringing Agentic SDLC to Life: Building an Agentic Engineering Platform Matar Peles, Solutions Engineer, Port The shift toward agentic software delivery is changing how organizations design and operate their engineering platforms. As AI agents become part of everyday development, platform teams are rethinking how to provide the structure, context, and guardrails that enable humans and AI to work together effectively. This session explores what an Agentic Engineering Platform looks like in practice - how it connects tools, data, and workflows into a cohesive system that supports safe, contextual collaboration across the SDLC. Drawing from real-world implementations, it highlights the emerging principles of agentic engineering: context as the foundation, guardrails as governance, and human–AI interaction as the new developer experience. Attendees will learn how platform engineering can evolve to make agentic development scalable, safe, and human-centered - transforming AI from a coding assistant into a true partner in building and operating modern software.
