The New Org Chart for AI Product Development
·OnlineOnlineJoin us for a great program at the Agile Austin Product and AI SIG! Once you sign up, you'll receive an email with a calendar event and Zoom link.
Session Title:
The New Org Chart for AI Product DevelopmentAbstract:
AI product development has an org design problem — not a tooling problem, not a talent problem — and the evidence is this:AI roles are not tools, they are hirable roles, and they belong on the org chart.
Once they're there, every human role around them has to change — not because AI replaces humans, but because it concentrates the remaining human work at the layer AI cannot substitute.
This architecture wasn't theorized — it was pressured into existence by building a production SaaS application with AI as the primary development resource. This session presents the result: the new org chart, the new workflow, the new role definitions, and the evidence that building this way changes the economics of what can be created, by whom, and at what cost.
Speaker: Matt Shanahan, Founder InvestmentLab.AI
With many years in software, Matt builds high-performance teams in moments of change — especially when technology reshapes how work gets done. Over the last two decades, I’ve led product, platform, and strategy teams through scale, regulation, and market shifts. Today, that work increasingly sits at the intersection of AI, systems thinking, and human judgment.

Agile Austin Book Club: The Data Detective (1)
·OnlineOnlineWe're reading The Data Detective by Tim Harford (sic, there is no T in Harford). We plan to read and discuss through "Rule 5" at our meeting June 4th, and continue or conclude our discussion June 18th. We'll have a third session in July if needed, or start our next book (see below) at that meeting. We're agile, we take more (or less) time as appropriate.
(The Zoom link is visible right after you register. The link to the Miro discussion board will be posted in the Zoom chat once the meeting is underway.)
And if you want to get a jump on our next selection, it's Co-Intelligence by Ethan Mollock
Do you have a book to recommend? Please submit this form, so our program committee can consider it.if you'd like to be on the program (book selection) committee, please contact david.wight@agileaustin.org .

Remote Process
Our process is in flux -- we're experimenting with new moderation and recording techniques, so please be on time and please be patient. And expect a call for participation -- we want this to be your book club.
Discussion Notes
for this and all our books may be found here. Notes are open to comment by anyone (please do!) and you'll also find how to get REIMBURSEMENT for books and the READING LIST for possible future books. (Discussion notes may or may not be taken in future -- we're experimenting to see what's valuable.)
About Book Club
We meet most months the 1st and 3rd Thursdays, so you can put that in your calendar. When and if we resume physical meetings we'll feed you, and if you participate in most of the sessions, we'll even reimburse you for the book, so save that receipt.
We have not recorded Book Club sessions in the past, but that could change:
