InfoQ Culture And Methods Trends Report - 2025
InfoQ, Friday, May 9th, 2025
In the annual Culture & Methods Trends Report podcast, InfoQ's Culture & Methods editorial team, with special guest Charity Majors, explored the shifting landscape of software development culture, tools, and practices.
The wide-ranging discussion revealed several key trends shaping how software teams are working in 2025, from the profound impact of AI tools on development practices to evolving perspectives on team performance and observability.
You can also listen to the entire Culture & Methods Trends Report discussion as a podcast with a supporting transcript.
To help navigate current and future trends at InfoQ and our QCon and DevSummit international software development conferences, we make use of the "crossing the chasm" mental model for technology success pioneered by Geoffrey Moore in his book of the same name. We try to identify ideas that fit what Moore referred to as the early market, where "the customer base is made up of technology enthusiasts and visionaries who are looking to get ahead of either an opportunity or a looming problem."
