Controversial opinion…

For decades we’ve invested heavily in discovery, requirements and governance because building software was expensive, slow and costly to change. The further into delivery you found a mistake, the more it cost to fix.

But what if that assumption is no longer true?

If AI and modern development tools dramatically reduce the cost of building, testing and iterating, why are we still applying exactly the same front-loaded processes?

AI isn’t about replacing people within today’s processes. It’s about replacing processes that no longer make sense.
