Within software development, 84% of developers report productivity gains from AI coding tools. There is a notable trend toward the use of AI agents, with the proportion of developers using them for task delegation rising from 7.6% in September 2025 to 28% by June 2026. While two-thirds of developers use agents occasionally, ‘agent-native’ teams report significantly higher productivity improvements at 62% compared to 28% for assistive users. However, a gap in organizational measurement remains, as only 20% of surveyed organizations have methods to quantify these specific productivity gains.
