Want to build the next award-winning app? Join a bleeding edge team of software developers. We are looking for a Senior Full Stack Developer (Ruby on Rails / Javascript ES6) to work remotely with our Atlanta-based team of software engineers. --> https://lnkd.in/eZtSH8p

The EU this week proposed regulations governing the use of ethical  #AI that could become the new standard for how AI and machine learning are governed around the world. If passed, the new regs would cover any AI-ML system that might impact an EU citizen. This could be an expensive proposition for AI-ML developers. AI-ML systems require high volumes of training data to feed their algorithms. Building different algorithm models for different geographic regions could be costly. It will be interesting to see how tech leaders respond to the proposed rule.

Tired of disruption? As new technologies continue to upend business, it leaves us with few choices but to modernize our tech stacks. But upgrading legacy systems isn’t easy. Successful upgrades require a structured approach that encompasses end-to-end innovation planning, which is why #DigitalTransformation has gained so much attention. Before you get into costly updates, you’ll want to understand how those updates strategically align with your user experience and growth opportunities. Here’s a good starting point.

Is #MachineLearning right for your organization? Most likely, the answer is yes. From large enterprises to small startups, machine learning has become a critical tool for organizations of all types, but one of the most challenging concerns is knowing where to begin. For example, you may be surprised to learn that you’re already using ML-based applications when you log onto Amazon, Netflix, Zillow, or Facebook.

For a basic understanding of machine learning and whether it’s right for you, read our latest blog post, “What is machine learning, and is it right for your organization?”

It's the season finale!  In the final episode of season one, Jay leads us through a discussion about product team retrospectives. We review simple strategies for planning and executing retrospectives; we wrap up the season with our own retro of the podcast!

The Experience Lab

12. A retro for retrospectives

In the penultimate episode of our first season, Rob and Jay dig deep into the realm of team dynamics -- confronting niceness disease &#038; groupthink, creating psychological safety and the pursuit of unit cohesion.

11. It’s nice being nice around the Holidays

Rob and Jay get into the technical weeds with our good friend and senior developer, Jake Hendley. Jake gives us a tour of our favorite mobile app framework, React Native, sharing wisdom about where it fits best and how to choose the right framework for your next project.

10. Our big reaction to React Native

Rob and Jay have a few things to say about the practice of staff augmentation, especially with how it can impact the culture and delivery value of high-performance product teams.

9. The best 20 minutes about Staff Augmentation

In part two of our exciting discussion about OKRs (Objectives and Key Results), hosts Rob Hall and Jay Cosgrove with veteran product manager Nick Alexander get down to brass tacks about the practical usage of OKRs within teams both large and small.

8. We’re okay with OKRs – Part Two

Rob and Jay are joined by Lead Product Manager Nick Alexander for an in-depth survey of OKRs (that's Objectives and Key Results); what they are, what they aren't, and how to use implement them in your practice of product management.

7. We’re okay with OKRs – Part One

Rob and Jay are back to kick off the second half of our first season with a short chat about the virtues of creating MVPs, or Minimum Viable Products in your organization. With some important lessons from their years of experience rapidly building and releasing MVPs to the market, this is a great episode for anyone needing a pick-me-up or help getting their ideas to market faster.

6. The Minimum Viable Episode about MVPs

On today's episode, Rob is joined by Solution Architect and veteran developer Josh Brown for a fascinating conversation about life as a developer, modern approaches to software solution architecture, and some twists and turns through the cosmos. Josh peppers the conversation with important wisdom from nearly two decades of experience building software and leading other developers. Note: this episode was originally recorded in April, 2020, in the midst of the COVID-19 shutdown.

3. Architecting a Developer’s Journey

If you've ever lived the agency life, you've probably dealt with different types of pricing and billing models - time and material, retainer, and flat-rate.  All come with their pros and cons, some more risky than others. Are these the only ways to structure client engagements? Rob and Jay do a critical survey of our experience with each of these models; what's worked, what hasn't, what pitfalls we want to avoid, and where we think the future lies.

2. The Big Deal about Time and Material

In the first episode of The Experience Lab, Product Director Rob Hall and Senior Product Manager Jay Cosgrove take a dive into the world of Product Management tools, surveying the tools we use at Digital Scientists as well as some best practices around dealing with the problem of point solutions.
