The advantage of UI redesigns no one is talking about: lost users will be clicking on more things as they try to find what they are looking for, sending your traffic analytics through the ROOF

The design engineer symptom: what a rising job title reveals

Trying to define Design Engineering today, and why the confusion around it turned out to matter.

Everyone is prototyping (sometimes, instead of doing their actual jobs). But the amount of insights has not increased.

A prototype is a research tool. These prototypes just getting shopped around as demos to stakeholders. When they are used for research, it is only as a tool of confirmation bias.

And if the prototype didn't change any decisions, then it doesn't matter how fast you made it. It was waste.

Designers will never have influence without understanding how organizations learn

We confuse prototypes with demos, and validation with confirmation bias. As a result, we cannot lead โ€” instead, we are led.

AI didnโ€™t break capitalism โ€” it exposed it.
Marx was right about value extraction, and AI is accelerating the pattern.

Many view autonomy as a wonder pill, but without alignment, it often leads to silos and conflict. True autonomy isn't independence; it requires shared constraints like vision and strategy to flourish in a team environment. https://mdalmijn.com/p/autonomy-is-overrated-why-alignment #ProductManagement #Agile
Autonomy Is Overrated: Why Alignment Beats Autonomy

Autonomy is one of the most misunderstood concepts in Agile and Product Management circles. Why alignment is more important than autonomy and ideally you have both.

Agile isn't dead, but our hunger for shared learning may be. Allan Kelly argues that by stopping experimentation and post-work meetups, we let Agility stagnate. We must revive that curiosity to thrive in the AI era. https://www.allankelly.net/archives/10705/agile-is-dead-assisted-suicide-can-you-revive-it/ #Agile #ProductManagement
Agile is dead: assisted suicide? Can you revive it?

Did AI kill agile? Was it SAFe? Or did it commit suicide because we stopped learning

A security product becomes harder to displace when each persona finds value in their own view, from SOC analysts to execs to AI agents. Designing for all of them is a stronger advantage than a longer feature list.

Designing Security Products for Humans and AI Agents

AI agents are quickly joining humans as personas that use enterprise security products. Vendors who understand how to support all their users, from analysts to agents, will build products that fit how teams actually work.

Product teams often suffer from a 'perspective problem'. While leadership tracks market trends, teams focus on specific users. To build great products, we must translate between three layers. Misalignment is usually a lens issue: https://eleganthack.com/everyone-on-your-team-is-right-and-thats-the-problem/ #ProductManagement #Agile
Everyone on Your Team Is Right (And Thatโ€™s the Problem)

Thereโ€™s a Cold War that runs through almost every product team. The frontline folksโ€”designers, PMs, engineersโ€”are quietly frustrated. โ€œManagement is completely disconnected from reality,โ€ they muttโ€ฆ
