Too many agile teams mistake movement for momentum. Backlogs get longer, everyone is busy, but the product is not moving forward.

Every product launch, service ticket, and update is under the microscope of customer scrutiny. And customers are telling you how they feel at every step. The challenge? Turning that feedback into fast, meaningful action. Many tech companies do a great job collecting feedback. They drop in-app prompts, run NPS surveys, and follow up with customers after support interactions.

ETL and ELT are some of the most common data engineering use cases, but can come with challenges like scaling, connectivity to other systems, and dynamically adapting to changing data sources. Airflow is specifically designed for moving and transforming data in ETL/ELT pipelines, and new features in Airflow 3.0 like assets, backfills, and event-driven scheduling make orchestrating ETL/ELT pipelines easier than ever!

Your Product Isn’t Broken — Your Habits Are The Product Patterns That Are Quietly Killing Efficiency Initially, I wrote this as a rant and then forgot about it. When I returned to it a couple of months later, my perspective had changed (courtesy of conversations with colleagues, mentors, and time). During this period of forgetfulness, I realised that companies have their fair share of ups and downs — and sometimes all you need to do is wait.

If your AI strategy feels like it’s solving everything except what matters , you’re not alone. Product teams often fall into one of two traps: overbuilding tech that doesn’t connect with users or blindly plugging in AI hoping for magic. What if there were a better way to evaluate where AI fits , when it flows, and how to make it matter? That’s where Ravi Mehta’s AI strategy approach comes in and why we built a set of three practical Usersnap survey templates to help you apply his thinking.
