Agentic AI is changing how software gets built, from how requirements are captured and specifications written to how code is generated, tested, and deployed. This session walks through the full agentic SDLC end to end and shows how GitHub Copilot supports each stage: requirement refinement, discovery, architecture, implementation, validation, and delivery. We'll look at what this means specifically for mainframe environments, where the business logic is deep, the quality bar is high, and the stakes of getting it wrong are real. You'll leave with a practical picture of how human judgment, deterministic structures and AI execution combine into a modern development pipeline and where to start.
