Rewiring Software Delivery shows technology leaders how to move beyond AI tool adoption and redesign the operating model for agentic engineering. It introduces practical ways to govern autonomous execution, strengthen intent, separate generation from validation, and build a delivery system that turns AI activity into durable business advantage.

About the Book

Software delivery is becoming the execution engine of enterprise AI strategy. Yet most organisations are still treating AI as a set of productivity tools layered onto an operating model built for human-only delivery.

Rewiring Software Delivery is a practical leadership playbook for technology executives, engineering leaders, delivery managers, architects, quality leaders, and transformation sponsors who need to move beyond AI experimentation.

The book introduces the Agentic Software Delivery Operating Model (ASDOM): a framework for redesigning how intent becomes production software when agents can plan, generate, test, validate, and operate work at machine speed.

Rather than focusing on tools alone, this book shows how to build the operating system around them:

• Turn business intent into execution-ready specifications
• Define decision rights, autonomy boundaries, and escalation paths
• Separate generation from independent validation
• Redesign architecture, quality, security, deployment, and operations
• Reimagine delivery roles for human-agent collaboration
• Establish governance, evidence, and accountability for autonomous execution
• Measure delivery capability, conformance, intervention, cost, and business value
• Scale transformation through a phased enterprise roadmap

Using the NovaBuild running case throughout, the book translates agentic delivery from abstract promise into practical operating decisions.

This is not a book about making developers type faster. It is about redesigning the delivery system so that organisations can convert strategic intent into governed, reliable, and repeatable software outcomes.

This book is for CTOs, CIOs, VPs of Engineering, Heads of Delivery, engineering managers, architects, product leaders, quality leaders, platform leaders, security leaders, and transformation sponsors.
