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.

The fastest way to get up and running in GitKraken Desktop. In this tutorial, you'll open a repo, start an AI coding agent in its own worktree, review the agent's changes against your own work, and ship a pull request without leaving the app. What you'll learn: Chapters Help Center: help.gitkraken.com.

AI adoption is nearly universal. So why are most teams still struggling? In this session from GitKon, Nathen Harvey, head of DORA at Google Cloud, shares findings from the 2025 DORA State of AI-Assisted Software Development report, drawing on data from nearly 5,000 developers worldwide. The answer isn't more AI. It's what surrounds it.

Responsible AI adoption for engineering teams starts with culture, not compliance. In this GitKon talk, Rizel Scarlett (Tech Lead of Open Source DevRel at Block) shares how Block helped thousands of engineers actually want to use AI tools, including Goose, Cursor, Claude Code, and more, without mandates, vibe coding disasters, or security gaps.

AI adoption is up. Developer confidence is up. So why is code duplication up 10x since 2022? GitKraken VP of Developer Research Jeremy Castile shares the frameworks we built after analyzing 211 million lines of code and talking to hundreds of engineering teams. This is the playbook version of the research — practical, not theoretical. In this session, you'll learn: The gap between how productive developers feel and what's actually happening in the codebase is real. If you can't measure it, you're just guessing. Nobody wants to be guessing with this stuff.

If you're running Claude Code, Codex, or Gemini, managing multiple sessions means one terminal per agent, status checks by window-switching, and worktree setup from scratch every time. GitKraken Desktop 12.0 adds structure to that workflow. What's new: Works with Claude Code, Codex CLI, Copilot CLI, Gemini CLI, and OpenCode.

AI adoption is already happening on your team, whether you have a strategy or not. Tracy Lee (CEO of This Dot Labs, Microsoft MVP, Google Developer Expert) breaks down the AI Enablement Flywheel — a 6-pillar framework used by successful engineering organizations to move from scattered experimentation to scalable, ROI-positive AI workflows.

AI can write code fast, but it makes mistakes humans often don't. In this session from Ole Lensmar, CTO of Testkube, breaks down the real quality risks of AI-generated code and how engineering teams can build guardrails before those bugs hit production. What you'll learn: Common mistakes LLMs make (and which ones are unique to AI) Whether you're a developer leaning on AI to ship faster or a QA lead trying to keep up with the pace of AI-generated code, this talk gives you a practical framework for staying ahead of quality issues.

What does a meaningful developer career look like in the age of AI? We brought together four experts to answer exactly that. In this GitKon panel, GitKraken CMO Kate Adams moderates a conversation with Leon Noel (Managing Director of Engineering, Resilient Coders), Danny Thompson (Director of Technology and host of The Programming Podcast), Maggie Hunter (Recruitment Lead, GitKraken), and Dimitry Fonarev (CEO, Testkube) to explore how software engineers can future-proof their careers, grow their skills, and navigate an industry that is changing fast.
