Turning Generative AI Hype into Real Impact

Generative AI offers massive potential for accelerating product discovery and delivery, and navigating it effectively is key. Many organizations are eager to use AI to generate code and content, yet some struggle with unclear business value or undefined success metrics. This talk cuts through the noise to explore why a reactive approach often fails to deliver working software and what a more strategic path looks like. Through practical examples, common pitfalls in the SDLC, and proven strategies, Product Managers and Developers will learn how to harness Generative AI in a pragmatic way that actually moves the needle.

This session is proudly sponsored by Honour Singapore – Honour Champions Community (HCC), Agility Professionals Group, and hosted with support from our Venue Sponsor SGInnovate.

Organised in collaboration with the Singapore Computer Society’s Product Management Special Interest Group (PDM SIG).
