Since the 90's era of software development, release cycles have evolved from years to weeks. On the Agile Digital Transformation Podcast, our CEO Jason Monberg shared what he's learned from working in software during this transformation and explores how these compressed development cycles have reshaped what's possible. He notes that it's not about speed for speed's sake – it's about the additional learning and adaptation that enables teams to: ? Test new technologies in weeks, not years ? Learn from real users instead of making decisions based on assumptions ? Move faster to turn market changes into opportunities The result? More flexible and effective architectures for digital products that serve real market needs. Listen to Jason's full conversation with Tim Butara for more insights into how technical teams can work together to develop innovation at the speed of modern business: https://lnkd.in/gY8t-x_f #software #digitaldevelopment #techleadership

"We learn by shipping products. We engage directly with AI technologies and test, iterate and refine in real-world scenarios."

? We recently hosted "Scaling Smart," an official after-hours event for TechCrunch Disrupt in San Francisco featuring three leaders in the trenches: ? Allison Wolff, CEO of Vibrant Planet, a champion of wildfire mitigation and ecosystem resilience technology and solutions ? Malini Balakrishnan, CTO of Anza Renewables, the company that is revolutionizing more efficient, affordable solar procurement ? Gabrielle Tenaglia, Head of Marketing at Lettuce Financial, where they are modernizing tax management for solopreneurs While the main conference buzzed with AI and moonshots, our panelists cut through the hype to share real challenges they've faced. A few key insights stood out: 1. Be a team player who considers the whole ecosystem: Remember that no one is an island; every decision ripples outward. Think holistically about impacts on users, partners, and the market. 2. Change is inevitable: Teams that embrace change rather than resist it build more adaptable products and productive, realistic company cultures. 4. Mission fuels the marathon: Team purpose carries everyone. Build team resilience and trust for the long haul. 5. External partnerships accelerate growth: Focus internal teams on core vision while leveraging external expertise to move faster and build smarter. Thanks to everyone who joined us for the real talk. No buzzwords needed when you're sharing actual battle stories. #TechCrunch #Disrupt2024 #SanFrancisco

?? While indulging in some #Halloween treats tonight, consider this sweet tale: Our VP of Product & Strategy, Jon Karlin, once relished The Hershey Company chocolates at a NYTechWeek event, all in the name of product-testing. The event, titled "Driving Business and Brand Longevity via Tech-Enabled Sensorial Strategy," led by Calista Corley (Highlight) and Mike Wong (Orveon Global), showcased the essence of integrating physical product-testing with data analytics to enhance feedback loops and speed up product evolution. ?? So, as you savor those leftover candies, ponder over your own testable product development feedback loops. After all, in the realm of #DigitalProductDevelopment, there's nothing spookier than a product sent to market untested! #DataDriven #ProductTesting #UserTesting #DigitalTransformation

?? "The first version of a product typically doesn't last that long if you're going through massive scaling." Jason Monberg discussed this and more in a recent podcast conversation, all based on his 25 years of experience developing technical digital products for ambitious startups and Fortune 500s. He also revealed: ? Why Facebook rewrote their codebase 5-6 times during scaling ? The counterintuitive power of patience in Silicon Valley ??Real talk about AR/VR adoption timelines ??Hard-earned lessons on future-proofing your architecture Sharing the full episode soon!
