Rethinking software development: An AI-native approach

Many organizations are adopting AI coding tools, but few capture their full value because they layer AI onto existing ways of working rather than redesigning workflows around it.

Sonar, a leading code quality and governance platform, worked with McKinsey to reimagine its product development lifecycle by embedding AI into core engineering workflows, governance, and operating practices. The transformation delivered significant gains in developer productivity, pull request throughput, and development cycle times, demonstrating that enterprise value comes from workflow redesign—not tool adoption alone.
