product-development

Anyone with domain knowledge can become a product builder. Here is the six-stage lifecycle for turning an idea into a planned, previewed, production-ready feature on the real codebase.

Product managers and designers are moving from prototypes to production. The next generation of product builders will not stop at generating new apps. They will build safely on the real codebase alongside engineers.

Scrum and Jira were built for a world where humans wrote every line. As agents one-shot the build, the bottleneck moves to the spec, to coordination, and to shared context. This is our case for a new SDLC, Spec-Driven Delivery, and the cadence that replaces the sprint, built to keep teams together as agents threaten to pull them apart.

Agent-native engineering isn't giving every engineer a coding agent. It's restructuring the team so agents are the ICs, engineers are tech leads, and PMs ship product themselves. Here's what changes, and what breaks if you don't catch up.

Coding agents made individual engineers 10x faster. But the rest of the product team still files tickets and waits. The next shift isn't faster agents. It's the whole team shipping together.

The software development lifecycle was designed for a world where writing code was the bottleneck. AI changed that. Here's what the new SDLC looks like.
