"There's a palpable tension in IT today. Teams are stretched to their limits with a growing backlog of initiatives, while executives expect IT to lead the charge on transforming an organization into an AI-driven one. And the numbers paint a somber picture. IT teams are drowning in work as digital transformation projects have not slowed down but rather accelerated. In fact, IT project requests in 2025 jumped 18% compared to the year prior,"
"But here's the part few IT leaders say out loud: the answer isn't about putting in more hours to catch up, it's about supercharging the teams you already have with existing tools at your disposal. When the work itself has outpaced traditional capacity, the solution becomes about enabling existing staff to be more productive and tackle previously backlogged work. So what should you do when the gap between what's needed and what's possible keeps widening?"
"The answer to the skills crisis lies in unlocking the talent you already have-and that is precisely the shift happening right now with vibe coding. It starts with a simple idea. You, the domain expert, describe what you want in natural language and an AI agent (or agents) take it from there, planning, reasoning, and executing end to end. It's the moment when domain experts-be it in IT or other domains-finally get to build the systems they've been waiting for."
IT teams face growing backlogs and executive pressure to lead AI-driven transformation. Project requests rose 18% in 2025 and 29% of projects missed deadlines, creating stakeholder tension. The solution is not longer hours but empowering existing staff with available tools to increase productivity and clear backlogs. Organizations must rethink who builds, who automates, and how work gets done. Vibe coding lets domain experts describe desired outcomes in natural language while AI agents plan, reason, and execute end-to-end. Domain experts can create workflows and services without mastering complex coding syntax, unlocking internal talent to close the skills gap.
