What you'll learn

  • Explain how AI is reshaping the SDLC, from requirements and architecture to coding, testing, deployment, and review.
  • Apply context engineering to give coding agents clear instructions, constraints, examples, tools, memory, and guardrails.
  • Turn business ideas into AI-ready specifications, user stories, acceptance criteria, edge cases, API contracts, and plans.
  • Design architecture-first workflows that preserve module boundaries, code quality, security, maintainability, and human control.
  • Build a coding-agent harness using instructions, tools, permissions, sandboxes, hooks, orchestration, and feedback loops.
  • Evaluate AI-generated software with automated reviews, unit tests, integration tests, LLM evaluations, and CI/CD quality gates.
  • Use human-in-the-loop review to delegate agent-sized tasks, inspect outputs, manage failures, and approve production changes.
  • Assess AI development costs and ROI using token consumption, retry loops, model routing, maintenance debt, and observability.
  • Create an agentic SDLC playbook for adopting AI coding workflows safely across individuals, teams, and organizations.

Description

Software development is changing from manually writing every line of code to designing intelligent systems that can plan, generate, test, evaluate, and improve software.


In AI-Powered SDLC: Vibe Coding to Agentic Engineering, you will learn how to integrate AI coding assistants and autonomous coding agents across the complete software development lifecycle.


You will begin by understanding how software development is shifting from syntax-driven implementation to intent-driven engineering. You will then learn how context engineering, specifications, architectural constraints, agent harnesses, tools, tests, evaluations, guardrails, and human review work together to produce reliable software.


The course goes beyond basic prompt engineering and autocomplete. You will learn how to create structured workflows in which AI agents operate as implementation workers while developers remain responsible for architecture, quality, security, cost, and production readiness.


Throughout the course, you will explore practical topics including AI-friendly requirements, user stories, acceptance criteria, context files, coding-agent instructions, MCP tools, agent orchestration, sandboxing, automated testing, LLM evaluations, observability, CI/CD quality gates, token-cost management, and human-in-the-loop approvals.


Each major section includes a focused hands-on project lab. You will create an AI-SDLC workflow map, a feature specification pack, an agentic feature factory, a coding-agent harness, an AI code evaluation pipeline, a production-readiness review, an AI development cost calculator, and a complete agentic SDLC playbook.


By the end of the course, you will understand how to move beyond experimental vibe coding and build disciplined, scalable, and production-ready AI software engineering workflows.


This course is designed for software developers, technical leads, architects, engineering managers, DevOps professionals, AI engineers, and anyone interested in the future of software development.

Who this course is for:

  • Software developers who want to move from traditional coding workflows to AI-powered and agentic software development.
  • Technical leads and software architects designing reliable workflows for coding agents, automation, and human review.
  • Engineering managers exploring how AI changes software delivery, team responsibilities, development costs, and governance.
  • Developers using tools such as GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Cursor, or other AI coding assistants.
  • Product managers, business analysts, and technical professionals who want to create clearer AI-ready requirements and specifications.
  • DevOps, platform, QA, and security professionals responsible for testing, guardrails, CI/CD controls, and production readiness.
  • Students and technology professionals preparing for the shift from vibe coding to structured agentic engineering.
  • Teams seeking a practical framework for adopting coding agents safely without sacrificing architecture, quality, security, or control.
