What you'll learn
Decide whether your project needs a software factory
Recognize where parallel agents pay off, where they add overhead, and when a simpler workflow is the better choice.
Map the workflow from task to approved merge
See how specs, code, tests and review fit together, and where human decisions keep the process on track.
Prevent parallel agents from breaking each other's work
Learn why worktrees alone aren't enough, how repeated corrections become checks, and why merges need human approval.
Keep human judgment where it matters
Identify what to retain as the engineer and how to recognize when managing more agents stops being productive.
Why this topic matters
Running five coding agents is easy to demo. Turning them into a reliable Software Factory is harder. Without isolation, reliable tests and clear human oversight, more agents can mean more rework. This session opens up a real startup's daily workflow with 5–6 agents in parallel: what broke, which safeguards held, and where the engineer must stay in control. Developers and tech leads will learn when this setup is worth adopting.
