We discuss the importance of getting engineers closer to customers, involving them earlier in discovery, and creating smaller, more autonomous teams that can take ownership of outcomes.\nWe also explore how AI is changing the way teams work. As prototyping and writing code become faster, the real bottlenecks increasingly lie in decision-making, dependencies and ensuring that teams are building the right things in the first place.\nIn this episode, we discuss:\nMoving from roadmap delivery to shared ownership of product outcomes\nHow to develop a product mindset across engineering teams and business leadership\nInvolving engineers in customer discovery and avoiding bias in customer research\nBuilding cross-functional teams without losing specialist engineering skills\nHow AI is changing prototyping, engineering roles and team structures\nWhy prototypes still need validation before they become production software\nMoving beyond traditional Agile ceremonies and story points\nMaking product analytics accessible so engineers can see the impact of their work\nThe future of product management, software engineering and Product Engineering\nWhether you're an engineering leader looking to develop more product-focused teams or a software engineer wanting to move beyond writing code, this conversation offers practical insights into how Product Engineering works in a real organisation.\nLinks and resources\nAnna Dick on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/anna-dick-b4bb434/\nCapsule CRM: https://capsulecrm.com/","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/tOpN0tMoB9dtDg__O2XafuXKrZuomc_ze_mLWYIpO7A/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS83Mjc4/NGQwOThhMzkyZGVm/ZmFjYmQ3N2NkMDcz/YWNlYS5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
