This will be the first in a series on Lean Manufacturing and Lean Software Development, which is a major enabled of agile processes.

I conclude this series my summarizing my current views on AI and it's increasing role in the development of business automation.

In the episode I will reflect on what I have learned by interacting with the management of the corporations I teach for, regarding the thoughts, concerns, and plans around AI.

People fear being replaced by AI. Should they? This episode will examine why this concern may not be as founded as people think, at least when it comes to industries I am familiar with.

This episode will use software development as an example of how AI can be used to make the product development process more efficient, and less wasteful. This is an example which I believe could apply to any kind of product.

This podcast will kick off a series of episodes on AI, and my personal view of it.

This week I will wrap up the notion of Shift Left, and introduce the next topic for this podcast.

The final "shift left" I will examine is the detection of defects during the planning process, specifically requirements analysis. It represents one of the most important and also most difficult challenges that face us when developing products.
