About the webinar

Your CFO isn't interested in AI adoption anymore. Now they're asking what your investment in AI has produced. The metrics that got you through the last budget cycle - including adoption rates, token consumption, and seats activated - ring hollow in executive conversations now. The problem isn't the strategy; it's the evidence. Your team's generating more code than ever before, but everything downstream runs at the same speed it always has - or slower. The system is lopsided, and the only way to make the imbalance visible is to measure it. Join Andrew Zigler and Ben Lloyd Pearson for a 45-minute session on the operational measurement model engineering leaders are using to answer board-level ROI questions about AI. You'll see why effort metrics around token consumption and lines of code don't tell the full story, how AI shifted bottlenecks across the SDLC, and how APEX, LinearB's measurement framework for the AI era, gives you the system-level evidence executives have started demanding. All registrants get first access to the companion guide, "Measuring efficiency in the AI-driven SDLC: how to control the executive conversation."
What you'll learn
Why tokenmaxxing, adoption dashboards, and code-volume numbers stop working in the CFO conversation
Where AI actually moved the bottleneck across the SDLC, from review through deployment
How APEX builds on DORA into an operating model engineering leaders can act on
How to reframe AI from a cost line you defend into an efficiency multiplier you champion
stop counting tokens

About the guide

Every registrant gets first access to our companion guide: Measuring efficiency in the AI-driven SDLC: how to control the executive conversation. It's the written counterpart to the workshop, a deeper walkthrough of why effort metrics like token counts and adoption rates fall apart the moment an executive asks what your AI investment has actually produced. If your team is still leaning on adoption rates and token counts, the guide includes a path to the system-level metrics that survive the executive conversation. (No judgment. Those were the right things to watch until recently; the questions have changed, though.) Register above to save your seat and get the guide in your inbox the moment it's live.
