Agile Austin

We're reading AI 2041: Ten Visions for our Future, by Kai-Fu Lee and Chen Qiufan. We'll read and discuss through Chapter 3 ("Twin Sparrows") at our September 4th meeting, chapters 4 and 5 at our September 18th meeting.
But if you're joining us late, any remarks about any of the first 5 chapters are welcome. This book is large enough that we anticipate continuing the discussion October 2nd and conclude it October 16th, but we're agile, we'll 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.)

NOTE TO REGULARS: the Zoom link is new.

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:

Event Details
This workshop teaches agile product team members and leaders how to write precise, strategic prompts that drive value across the product lifecycle. Participants will practice prompting for tasks like user stories, market insights, and team communication, while learning how to reduce AI hallucinations through structured input and verification techniques. Through guided hands-on exercises, participants will go through the complete digital product development cycle—from an initial idea to a tangible prototype—using GenAI as a creative accelerator. Attendees will begin by brainstorming product concepts, problem statements, user personas, and customer journey. From there, they will map out basic system architecture and workflows to establish a foundational structure. Next, participants will sketch early UI/UX wireframes, API mockups, data models, and ML-based feature prototypes. The workshop concludes with peer sharing and group reflection.
