Embracing Software Engineering 2.0

The world of Software Engineering is undergoing a major shift - it is becoming more complex, and interdisciplinary than ever before. Driven in large part by the rapid rise of AI, the traditional, code-centric role of the developer is evolving into one that demands a broader skill set and a shift in mindset. As AI-assisted code generation becomes common, teams face mounting challenges: increased code churn, growing technical debt, and the need to make smarter decisions earlier in the development cycle.

In this whitepaper, we explore the foundations of Software Engineering - Requirements Engineering, Architecture, Testing, Security, and cross-functional collaboration - while also highlighting emerging trends like model-driven engineering, cloud-native development, and the impact of generative AI. What skills will tomorrow’s developers need? How can teams adapt to thrive amid constant transformation? This whitepaper provides answers for technology leaders and L&D professionals alike - offering clear guidance on how to build resilient, future-proof software teams.
