The models are breaking and the new ones aren’t optional - #19

Legacy models are cracking everywhere , from agency economics to product architecture. The teams who win next aren’t the ones moving faster, but the ones stripping away everything that slows them down

The post-agile product era

Most teams still run Agile ceremonies while shipping slows to a crawl. But the products moving fastest today are built by tiny, post-agile teams who skip the process theatre and go straight to evidence.

Replatforming without ruining product quality

Lift and Shift: When It’s the right move, and when it’s a trap.

Where product is really heading: loops, vibe coding and outcome-first work # 18

This week’s issue explores the rise of vibe coding in major tech, why UX still struggles to influence business, how PM and project roles keep getting mixed and why teams deliver only 3% of their plans.

Why teams ship only 3% of their 3-year roadmap (and what to do instead)

Most teams ship only 3% of their three-year roadmap, not because they’re bad, but because the planning model itself is broken.

Flow, feedback and the future of product work - #17

This week’s issue explores why product teams jump to solutions too early, the rise of AI prototyping tools like Lovable, and how the next wave of innovation might come from those who design less and learn faster.

Product managers should start prototyping

Expanding what product managers do, one tech-enablement at a time.

Why teams keep adding bloat to their MVPs

Don't make your MVP an all-you-can-eat.

The hidden trap in every brief: Solution Bias

Most briefs begin with a solution. A new website, a new feature, a new campaign. It feels decisive, but it’s often a trap. Solution bias is when we define the problem in terms of a particular fix, jumping to how before understanding why. The result? Great execution on the wrong thing.

The dip in momentum (and why it’s normal in product work)

There’s always a moment where a project feels like it’s stalling. Seth Godin calls this The Dip: “the long slog between starting and mastery.” Instead of panicking, tighten scope and shorten the loop. Momentum shouldn’t be defined by weekly meetings — it should be defined by evidence.

You don’t need 10 designers. You need 10x results from your method

Most companies don’t need more designers - they need a better method. The Build Loop is a framework for getting 10x results from the same team by turning ideas into live, validated products at speed. It’s not about adding headcount. It’s about building smarter.

The best growth strategy is still… a great product

Growth isn’t a hack - it’s the outcome of a great product. The fastest-growing companies don’t chase tactics; they obsess over delivering value fast. When your product makes customers successful, growth takes care of itself.
