In this episode, hosts Peter Maddison and Dave Sharrock sit down with Nick Cawthon to explore how generative AI is revolutionizing the relationship between UX, design, and agile development.

Key Topics:

• Embedding UX research into agile sprints, balancing short-term feedback loops with long-term strategic insights
• The "electric bicycle" analogy: How AI gives teams superpowers but can also accelerate you in the wrong direction
• Why Nick believes he'll never use Figma again, shifting from design tools to code-native prototyping
• Building functional prototypes using company design systems and generative AI tools
• The evolution of team size: From 6-8 person cross-functional teams to powerful 2-3 person teams leveraging AI
• The architect's mindset: Understanding the technical foundation before designing the interface

Three Key Takeaways:

1. What an incredible opportunity we have; it feels like the year 2000 again, with the excitement and disruption ahead
2. Small teams (2-3 people) with diverse perspectives can now move incredibly fast using modern tools
3.  Speed is powerful, but you still need feedback loops to ensure you're building the right thing and not racing in the wrong direction
