I’ve seen an enormous divergence in how teams are approaching AI. I’ve spoken to hundreds of engineering leaders about AI adoption. They almost invariably fall into one of three camps: Camp 1: “We’re avoiding AI”. It’s an operational risk / a security risk, so until it’s better understood, we’ve got…

Let’s say you’ve got 8 people on one of your engineering squads. Your daily standup takes 15 minutes a day. That’s 75 minutes per week, or roughly 3750 minutes per person. You’ve got 8 people, so that’s 30,000 minutes each year for your team, or 500 hours. That works out…

From making precise decisions to optimising workflows, AI is reshaping how product managers operate. Here are 6 best-in-class AI tools for product managers: 1. Stepsize AI — Everyone on the same page, effortlessly Stepsize AI is an advanced intelligence tool which surfaces…

The daily standup meeting has proven itself an invaluable tool for teams looking to keep everyone aligned. However, in the age of remote work, virtual teams, and asynchronous collaboration, there are all kinds of reasons why teams are making way for the asynchronous daily standup. Dailybot is one of the…

Your team’s productivity is worth investing in. We often fall into the trap of letting productivity take a backseat to immediate delivery pressures, like looming deadlines or pressing feature requests. It’s easy to overlook that the productivity of an engineer, or indeed an entire team, is not a static metric…

There’s a direct correlation between Developer Experience (DX) on our engineering teams, and innovation, efficiency, and, ultimately success. We know it’s a competitive landscape in terms of both the product and job markets. Software development teams jostle for elite talent and are pressured to deliver top-tier products. …

I’ve spoken to hundreds of tech leaders over the last few years. If I’ve learned anything, it’s that relatively small operational changes can have an enormous impact on productivity. Those changes might come in any form, from finding better ways to share what matters and getting to cancel 3 hours’…

Despite the leaps and bounds in AI technology, there’s still a lack of “deep” implementation of AI. AI sometimes feels like a supercharged toddler — enthusiastic but not always helpful, especially with non-shallow work. And I think that’s why AI for collaboration, especially for developers, isn’t a huge deal –…

Agile software development and the cornerstone practice of daily standups have been around for over two decades. Yet, we’re quick to consider our tech, from laptops to enterprise software, outdated after just a few years. Why don’t we hold Agile practices to the same standard of scrutiny? If a three-year-old…
