Build Smarter with AI-Driven Development Life Cycle (AI-DLC)

In this episode, you'll learn how to implement AWS's AI-Driven Development Life Cycle (AI-DLC), a structured methodology that integrates AI throughout software development while maintaining human oversight. We'll demonstrate key aspects of the AI-DLC workflow, focusing on the Inception phase where AI-DLC performs workspace detection, requirements analysis, and workflow planning using the Plan-Execute pattern. You'll see how Kiro generates implementation plans while you make strategic decisions at critical checkpoints, and gain practical experience with adaptive workflows that adjust complexity based on project requirements—techniques you can immediately apply to your own development projects.
