A workshop hosted by Thoughtworks' Martin Fowler, marking 25 years of the Agile Manifesto, examined AI's impact on software development. Key findings: TDD produces dramatically better results with AI coding agents by preventing agents from writing tests that merely confirm broken behavior. Engineering discipline doesn't disappear with AI—it shifts elsewhere, and teams often see no speed gains, just more frustration. Junior developers adapt to AI tools faster than seniors, while security remains dangerously neglected. Participants noted that established practices and organizational structures are breaking under AI-assisted work, and trust in non-deterministic systems remains an unsolved problem. Fowler dismissed calls for a new manifesto as premature.

Test-driven development ideal for AI, says Agile workshop
