What's happening in the collaboration space there? Who would like to tackle this one?
V
15:58Vanessa FumicolaGUEST
So clearly, as we have different problems and different companies, there would be different solutions for this.
V
16:04Vanessa FumicolaGUEST
But I think the big consideration that we need to have is how do we expect this system to evolve? So when we look at the team, even before we used to think, okay, this team requires this skill set, this software will last, this software will be for the developer user, for the actual user paying a subscription.

16:24Vanessa FumicolaGUEST
We always had some metrics to say, "We need this kind of team for this kind of problem." The conversations that we're having today are more, who's gonna evolve the software? How many people interaction do I need with that software going forward? What skills do I need that are human in that software going forward? So I can foresee models where maybe more business critical pieces where you have what we've called a team up to now, but super powered by, you know, models, agents, and supporting what they can.

And I can see lower risks teams where it's actually product manager and one dev.
V
17:05Vanessa FumicolaGUEST
This can open roads to completely different setups of teams, you know, agents as team members in a group of humans.

Shawna MartelGUEST
This is a new tool that we're now needing to learn to wield in a new way, but I don't know that I think that it's gonna really fundamentally change what I expect of my senior leaders over, over time.
