Arguing Agile · 2025-09-17 · 57 min
Join Product Manager Brian and Enterprise Consultant Om as they peel back the sticky veneer from the "Build First" trend sweeping through product development. Listen or watch as we debate the message being projected by AI tool vendors (who all have their own flavor of tool to sell you) and ask - "are we encouraging teams to skip crucial validation" in favor of rapid prototyping? Stick around for our discussion, which includes: - How "Build First" creates organizational dependencies on AI vendors - The death of institutional knowledge and strategic thinking - Effects of skipping user research and stakeholder conversations - The token economy trap and hidden costs of AI-driven development - Practical ways to leverage AI tools without falling into these traps Whether you're a product manager, developer, or leader navigating the AI hype cycle, this episode offers balanced insights on how to use AI tools responsibly while still building products people actually want.
