Thoughtworks technologists conducted a four-day experiment in Barcelona, Spain, involving 10 engineers to explore "hyper-agentic" software development. The team successfully built a simulated airline IROps system, a complex task typically requiring significant time and resources. During the process, they inadvertently discovered that agents coordinating through shared, continuously updated plans within a monorepo facilitated emergent behavior and efficient task allocation. AI
