Why dashboards still matter in the age of AI

Apr 30, 2026 By Blog In Squared Up

I recently gave a talk at Experts Live India 2026 about SquaredUp, and even before getting into the demo, there was one question I knew I had to address: Is the dashboard era over? It's something we're all hearing more. "Just ask AI." "Agentic AI will build your dashboards automatically." "Why bother with static views when a chatbot can answer anything?" It's a fair question. Answering it requires a clear understanding of what a dashboard represents.

Context Engineering: How to Manage AI Context at Scale

Apr 30, 2026 By Ganesh Datta In Cortex

Context engineering is the practice of managing the information an AI model sees (documents, tool outputs, memory, and structured metadata about the systems it reasons over) so it can make accurate decisions inside a real engineering organization. Most engineering teams have access to the same AI coding agents: Claude, GPT, Gemini, the major variants everyone is shipping. The model is no longer the differentiator.

Ticket Taker to Team Leader: Managing an Agentic IT Workforce

Apr 30, 2026 By Abhay Kulkarni In Ivanti

The promise of AI in IT service management has been circulating for years. Chatbots that deflect tickets. Virtual agents that answer FAQs. Automation that routes requests. These are useful, but probably not the dream-state you were originally sold. What's different today is the arrival of agentic AI: systems that don't just respond to instructions but reason, act, and adapt across multi-step workflows with real consequences. The question for IT leaders is no longer whether to adopt agentic ITSM.

DORA Metrics in the AI Era: Why Deployment Isn't Faster

Apr 30, 2026 By GitKraken In GitKraken

DORA metrics in the AI era reveal a paradox: PR volume is climbing, but deployment frequency is staying flat. In this talk, GitKraken's Director of Product Jeff Schinella breaks down why AI-accelerated code generation is creating a review bottleneck that your DORA metrics can't fully explain on their own. Jeff walks through how PR metrics (cycle time, first response time, code churn, and PR size) serve as the leading indicators behind your DORA data. If your deployment frequency is flat while PR counts go up, the bottleneck isn't your devs. It's your review capacity.

Moving On From MCP: How We Built the Bindplane AI Skill

Apr 30, 2026 By Brian Gardner In ObservIQ

If you've spent any time wiring AI coding agents into developer platforms over the last year, you've probably reached for MCP. We did too. And after enough sessions watching context windows balloon and tool calls misfire, we started looking for something different. This is the story of what we built instead — a native AI skill for the Bindplane CLI — and the engineering decisions behind it.

AI writes the code. Who delivers it safely? | Harness Blog

Apr 30, 2026 By Jyoti Bansal In Harness

The question for enterprise AI in 2026 is no longer just which model. It’s which harness. An agent harness is the system around the model. It decides what the agent remembers, what context it sees, what tools it can call, what it is allowed to do, and what happens when it is wrong. The model provides intelligence. The harness provides control. This is where the real engineering is happening.

From PR to Production Without Leaving Your Cursor IDE | Harness Blog

Apr 30, 2026 By Jyoti Bansal In Harness

TLDR: Today, Harness is introducing the Harness Cursor Plugin, bringing the power of the Harness AI-native software delivery platform directly into Cursor. This integration, along with the Harness Secure AI Coding hook for Cursor, allows developers and AI agents to move from code changes to vulnerability detection, CI/CD execution, security validation, approvals, deployments, and operational insight without leaving the editor. AI has completely changed how we write code.
