What to expect

Explore how AI is reshaping product briefs and software delivery at Developer South Coast in Southampton on 19 November 2026.

Hosted by Developer South Coast, this end-of-year meetup features two main talks and a bonus lightning talk:

  • Sorry About the PRDs: How AI Is Forcing Product Managers to Write Better Briefs, Ollie Dawes explains how his team replaced traditional product requirements documents and repeated design hand-offs with detailed AI briefs, shared prototypes, and stronger developer-led review and QA. Ollie is Senior Product Manager at Heidrick & Struggles, where he leads AI product development and strategy.
  • Scaling Delivery When AI Writes the Code, Rado Mroz shares lessons from scaling AI-assisted development amid a fourfold increase in developer numbers and doubled median pull-request sizes. Rado leads the Core engineering group at Nourish, setting technical direction for a platform shared by more than 10 teams.
  • How We Did DIY SOS (BBC) in Southampton, Graig Gallem offers an insider’s view of the IoT makeover he helped deliver for a recent episode of DIY SOS.

The meetup is relevant to product managers, developers, designers, and engineering leaders interested in AI-enabled collaboration and delivery. No experience requirements are stated.

When: Thursday 19 November 2026, 7:00–9:00pm GMT Where: United Reformed Church, Wessex Synod Office, 120 Alma Road, Southampton SO14 6UW
