  • SE01 E10 Why Agile Is Changing in the Age of AI Agents I Samuel Crescêncio
    Sep 22 2026

    What happens when companies try to move faster with AI before fixing the problems underneath?

    In this episode of Inside the SaaS AI Shift, presented by PowerMoves AI, Kristi Perdue sits down with Samuel Crescêncio, Founder of Lean IT 101, to explore AI transformation, agentic AI, software development, Agile, and the future of SaaS.

    They discuss why AI cannot fix broken processes, how companies can redesign value streams before automation, and how AI agents are changing software development, engineering teams, governance, and organizational knowledge.

    Samuel also shares how AI helped transform a complex software system and produce hundreds of automated tests in hours - work that could once have taken months.

    Key topics:

    * AI adoption and business transformation
    * Agentic AI and AI-powered software development
    * The future of Agile
    * Value stream optimization
    * AI governance and organizational knowledge
    * Forward deployed engineering
    * The changing SaaS business model

    The key takeaway: AI is not the goal. It is a tool. Fix the process first, then use AI to accelerate it.

    AI is changing the SaaS business itself - from what companies build and monetize to what enterprise buyers are willing to trust. Inside the SaaS AI Shift is the executive decision making podcast for leaders responsible for what comes next.

    Host Kristi Perdue brings more than 30 years of SaaS experience and credentials as a Certified Chief AI Officer (CAIO) and Certified Information Governance Officer for AI (CIGO/ AI). As founder of AlterBridge Strategies and creator of Power Moves AI™, she gets past the demos and into the decisions reshaping enterprise software.

    Each episode examines the consequential choices behind the shift: how AI changes product strategy and the SaaS business model, where anticipated ROI breaks down, when governance must become operational, and what enterprise buyers will require before they trust AI at scale.

    Through candid conversations with executives doing the work, the show surfaces the tradeoffs and hard-earned lessons behind those decisions. It is built for SaaS founders, CEOs, product leaders, and executive teams preparing to lead through a fundamental transformation of the SaaS business.

He explains how AI agents could dramatically increase the scale of fraud, why traditional bot detection is no longer enough, and why businesses need new identity and trust frameworks for the agentic era.In this episode, Kristi and Tom discuss:• Why agentic AI changes the traditional model of identity and access control• How AI agents could become a powerful new attack vector for fraud• Agentic commerce and the future of AI-powered shopping• Why businesses need to verify the identity, authorization, and reputation of AI agents• The financial and legal risks when an AI agent makes an unauthorized transaction• AI agents accessing sensitive healthcare and financial information• AI governance challenges for enterprises adopting agentic AI• How SaaS companies can prepare for agentic traffic• The importance of human oversight and guardrails for AI agents• How businesses can distinguish between humans, bots, and AI agents• The role of digital identity in building trusted AI ecosystems• Vouched's work on agent identity standards and the Know Your Agent concept• Why companies should start testing agentic traffic before it reaches critical mass• How AI is changing search, marketing, and the way customers discover businesses• What SaaS leaders should be doing now to prepare for the next 24 months of AI adoptionTom also shares practical advice for organizations considering AI agents, including why companies should test their agents thoroughly, involve risk-focused teams early, and understand exactly what an agent can access and do before allowing it to act independently.If you're a SaaS executive, technology leader, CISO, CFO, fraud professional, marketer, or AI strategist thinking about agentic AI, AI governance, digital identity, or the future of enterprise software, this conversation offers a practical look at what needs to happen before AI agents become trusted digital employees.Subscribe to Inside the SaaS AI Shift with Kristi Perdue for conversations about AI adoption, enterprise software, AI governance, digital transformation, and the decisions shaping the future of SaaS.Guest: Tom DonleaVice President, VouchedHost: Kristi PerdueInside the SaaS AI ShiftConnect with Tom Donlea on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/tdonlea/#AgenticAI #AI #AIGovernance #DigitalIdentity #AIIdentity #AgenticCommerce #FraudPrevention #SaaS #EnterpriseAI #Cybersecurity #Vouched #ArtificialIntelligence I hope you enjoyed this episode!If you did, please like, share, and subscribe so you don't miss what's coming next.- Kristi and the Inside the SaaS AI Shift podcast teamKristi's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kristiperdue/AlterBridge Strategies website: https://alterbridgestrategies.com/#saasaigovernance #aigovernance #aistrategy #saasleadership #aiexecution #ciso #airoi #aiforsaas #executiveleadership #aicompliance #saasgrowth #aitransformation #boardgovernance #ai #saasAI is changing the SaaS business itself - from what companies build and monetize to what enterprise buyers are willing to trust.
