Agentic Development Lifecycle: Stop Shipping Agents Like Normal Apps
This article breaks down the Agentic Development Lifecycle (ADLC), a practical framework for taking agents from early ideas to reliable production systems. It walks through the full journey, from defining the problem and designing the architecture to testing, deployment, monitoring, and continuous improvement. More importantly, it shows why building real-world agents requires more than prompts and demos. You need clear evaluation loops, operational safeguards, and systems that can adapt over time.
