AI Is Accelerating How Fast We Build the Wrong Thing
14m
“The worst thing about AI is it’s accelerating how fast we build the wrong thing.” Jeff Keyes, Field CTO at Allstacks and a 30-year veteran of Microsoft, Atlassian, and Planview, joins Alan Shimel on TechStrong TV to preview his Flowtopia 2026 talk — Product Management’s New Operating Model. Jeff makes the case that the smartest organizations he’s working with have flipped the script on AI transformation: it shouldn’t start in engineering — it should start in product management. He and Alan dig into why incomplete specs that human developers used to navigate become compounding errors when AI builds them literally, why 80%+ of companies still aren’t seeing ROI from AI tools, and why requirements quality is now the highest-leverage variable in AI-assisted development.
