Episode notes
Manage Projects With A Stopwatch Not A Calendar
- Move from calendar-driven plans to stopwatch-driven iteration to exploit AI's rapid prototyping capabilities.
- David Glick shows this by prototyping UX changes in minutes and using faster OODA loops to reduce rework and misalignment.
Automate Compliance By Letting Agents Read Code
- Automate compliance answers by having an agent read code instead of relying on human-drawn architecture diagrams.
- David Glick recommends embedding security, data governance, and privacy checks into real-time toolchains tied to the codebase.
Iteration Volume Reduces Prioritization Pressure
- Faster iteration reduces the need for heavy upfront prioritization because you can deliver many more experiments per year.
- Glick contrasts once-a-year delivery with doing 50 things a year, which makes order less critical.
