SDD is generating a lot of conversation in the community, and rightly so: it is probably the most significant methodological shift AI has brought to agile development. We have prepared two resources worthy of the topic.
Spec Driven Development is a methodology that changes the relationship between professionals and AI when building software: instead of giving conversational instructions to an agent and reviewing what it generates, a clear specification of what is going to be built, how, and under which constraints is produced first. Only then does implementation begin (you can take a look at the article "Spec Driven Development: what it is, where it comes from, and why it matters").
To go deeper, we have just published a comprehensive teaching guide "SDD — Spec Driven Development: when the code is the consequence". It covers everything from the foundations (why vibe coding does not scale and what the data says) to practical application: the four phases of the workflow, how to write good specs for agents, the boundaries system, antipatterns, and the direct connection with Scrum in teams that work with AI. It also addresses the inevitable question: is it waterfall in disguise?
In addition, you can train your skills in this area and measure your level in the new skill "SDD- Spec Driven Development en equipos ágiles" in Skill Arena. The guide gives you the knowledge; Skill Arena lets you put it to the test.
