2025 State of AI-assisted Software Development

The large annual DORA study shows that AI amplifies what is already there - good teams get better, weak processes become more visible.

In short Confirms our approach: the engineering frame first, then autonomy.

What it is about

The DORA report has been the reference for software delivery for years. In 2025 it focuses entirely on AI: how does AI-assisted development affect throughput, stability and teams?

What caught our attention

The core message: AI is an amplifier. Good platforms, clear processes and strong teams benefit - weak foundations don’t get better with AI, their weaknesses become more visible.

What we take from it

This matches our experience: first the engineering frame - tests, reproducible builds, clear rules - then agent autonomy. We call it context readiness; more in 85% on the slide, 36% in the project.
