Future of Quality

Episode 1: The gap between intent and implementation

What happens to a great idea between the moment someone has it and the moment a developer starts building it? Usually, something gets lost.

In the first episode of our Future of Quality series on digital product development, our host, Jani Grönman, sits down with Niko Nousiainen and Tuomas Leppilampi to explore how AI actually changes the ideation and requirements phase — before a single line of code is written.

They cover:
- Why the "broken swing" problem (corrupted intent) is still the root cause of most failed features
- The Three Voices method: what happens when product, tech, and quality sit in the same room, powered by AI context
- How agentic tools can enrich user stories with code context, existing risks, and technical debt , without replacing the human writing the ticket
- Hidden Trail's Quality Engineering Suite and how it helps teams at every stage of the AI adoption journey
- What requirement engineering looks like six months from now
