Clear Measure provides resources to empower software leaders and developers in software delivery, fulfilling our vision to improve and inspire software teams worldwide.

Many organizations are investing in AI tools, but few are seeing measurable improvements in software delivery. In this webinar, Jeffrey Palermo introduces the AI Software Factory—an orchestration pattern that helps software leaders improve throughput by combining AI automation with quality, stability, and end-to-end visibility.

Through live demonstrations, you'll learn how AI can automate repetitive work, enrich planning and testing, streamline production incident response, and provide the metrics needed to measure delivery performance and AI ROI. The session also explores why quality and stability are essential before scaling AI and shares practical guidance for implementing AI in a way that supports long-term software delivery success.

Jeffrey Palermo, CTO & Chairman of Clear Measure, walks through the AI Software Factory pattern in this Austin .NET User Group presentation, an executive-level framework for orchestrating how software moves through an organization to increase throughput while keeping quality high.

The session makes the case that AI builds on top of good software delivery fundamentals, not around them. Teams still struggling with escaped defects, production instability, or an incomplete DevOps environment will not benefit from AI until those are solved.

Live demos cover automated production incident resolution, a software delivery scorecard with forecasting, and auto-generated architecture documentation pulled from source code. The core takeaway is that AI works best on easy, well-defined work. Start there, measure the impact, and let human judgment handle the rest.

This builds on our AI Software Factory demonstrations that we have already done. For implementing the AI Software Factory pattern in your organization, the first objective is Clarity. That starts with measurement. If we believe that AI automation will help software delivery, we need measurements in place to give us visibility into the success of the AI implementation. Join us to learn how to start measuring and reporting on software delivery throughput, as well as DORA metrics and others.

Jeffrey Palermo, CTO & Chairman of Clear Measure, presented the AI Software Factory, an executive-level architectural pattern for orchestrating software delivery from idea to production. He opened by addressing a core problem: software delivery has become the constraint in most organizations, and teams can't simply work faster when defects and production incidents are constantly consuming capacity. Poorly engineered AI adoption doesn't solve this, it just ships bugs faster. The AI Software Factory is the next evolution following Agile, DevOps, and cloud adoption, orchestrating people, processes, and automation across the entire delivery lifecycle.

A key theme throughout was that visibility must come before automation. Using a live Kanban board demo and a real client project, Jeffrey showed how a weekly scorecard tracking throughput, mean time to delivery, escape defects, and production incidents reveals bottlenecks and process gaps that would otherwise stay hidden. From there, AI automation is introduced intentionally, starting with simple, low-risk tasks, and always measured against the scorecard to confirm real improvement. Clear Measure's goal is to help organizations build software delivery systems that safely exploit AI without destabilizing their business.

Hear directly from past attendees of Clear Measure's Advanced .NET Bootcamp — a 3-day, immersive in-person training taught by Jeffrey Palermo, designed for software engineers and architects who want to sharpen their skills and deliver better software, faster.

The bootcamp covers modern .NET architecture, DevOps practices, cloud transformation, application modernization, AI-driven development, and more — with hands-on exercises throughout each day. Ready to level up your team?

The promise of AI in software development is that it will profoundly increase the rate of software delivery. But merely using AI tools does not deliver on that promise. Putting together an end-to-end automated process is what's required. That is the pattern of the "AI Software Factory". In this webinar, you will see an AI Software Factory in motion and learn what you need to do to implement this pattern for yourself to 2x and 3x your pace of software delivery.
To enable AI tools to process information stored in existing software systems or databases, that data must reach the language model's context window. There are only two ways to achieve this: (1) include it directly in the prompt, or (2) provide it as the result of a call to an LLM tool/function. The Model Context Protocol (MCP) offers a standardized pattern for discovering, grouping, and enabling sets of AI tools that language models can access. However, most traditional web services are not well-suited for agentic workflows. To support true agentic patterns with your existing systems, you need an MCP server. MCP is emerging as the new standard API for large language models. This training will jumpstart your journey toward designing and implementing an MCP server for your custom system or database.
.NET AI Architecture for DevOps provides strategies and design patterns to enhance software development and deployment with AI integration. AI‑driven development is transforming how .NET engineers deliver software. Instead of envisioning a fully autonomous future, this webinar presents a practical, near‑term model: enabling a skilled engineer to compress a month of feature work into a single day through AI‑Driven Development. Jeffrey Palermo introduces an approach that pairs clear architectural decisions with high‑leverage automation and modern AI coding tools like Cursor, GitHub Copilot, and Claude. Attendees will learn how to design AI‑ready DevOps environment, use parallelized local and cloud runners, and guide LLMs to generate code, tests, and supporting artifacts with confidence and consistency. Implementing .NET AI Architecture for DevOps ensures consistent testing, scalable pipelines, and effective AI integration. The session covers how to structure a repeatable workflow for rapidly delivering production‑quality features—achieving 10× throughput without sacrificing quality or control.
Many pundits compare AI to a junior developer on your team. This is false. AI is code that runs on a computer and cannot operate fully by itself. It must be operated like any other sophisticated machine. However, it is a very sophisticated machine capable of building software features if the development environment is well-designed and complete. This webinar will demonstrate the ability to fully delegate a software feature to an unmonitored AI tool. When an engineer reviews the output, it will be a fully developed feature that meets the team's standards, including all automated tests, and a complete pull request ready for review. Move into the future with us, where you can delegate the development of easy features and changes entirely to the computer, allowing your engineers to focus on new, novel, or difficult features.
