Agile to Agility Conference: Team Dynamics & Org Structure
Matthew explores how Generative AI has “laid down the gauntlet”: tasks that traditionally took days or weeks—like product discovery, user testing, and hypothesis validation—can now be completed in hours. This results in an order-of-magnitude reduction in lead time, akin to what public cloud technologies achieved in the late 2000s. Small, agile startups that leverage GenAI effectively are poised to out-innovate larger incumbents, at least initially.
