"We'll just build it ourselves" is usually said with confidence and a rough headcount estimate. Six months later, the team that was supposed to spend two sprints on it is still maintaining it a year in, and the platform that was meant to save engineering time has become one of the things engineering time goes to.

It's 3am and a complaint has made its way to you: customers can't see product reviews. Nothing has crashed, and no alert points anywhere useful. Somewhere in your stack one service is failing, and the one showing the error is probably not it. Before you can fix anything you have to find it, and that search is most of your night.

Git worktrees let you check out multiple branches of the same repository in separate directories. Each worktree has its own files and staging area, but they all share the same Git history. You can work on several branches without repeatedly switching between them, stashing changes, or cloning the repository again. Worktrees are especially useful when working with coding agents. Tools like Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor can use them to handle multiple tasks in parallel without editing the same files.

Agentic Pipelines now integrates with the redesigned Atlassian MCP server for Claude and Codex agents. Rovo Dev CLI agents in Agentic Pipelines currently use the original version of Atlassian MCP server and are unaffected by this update.

By the next morning, everything is back to normal, so any test you run during the day comes back clean. For a business, that pattern shows up in a few ways. A remote employee can’t get through an evening call. A branch office’s nightly backup never finishes.

Incidents now unfold across more connected systems and at greater speed. Here’s what Forrester says IT leaders should rethink as AI takes a larger role in investigation, response, and recovery.
