    "text": "Because before, you could probably argue that the coding part was the bottleneck in our kind of product lifecycle. But now … is doing all the coding. And when he took over the coding, we found that the requirement part, the first part, is the new bottleneck. Because me and …, we can be tied up in some prioritized work. And then a product owner creates a new feature or a feature request in an Epic in the boards. And we won't kind of look at that before some time has passed. And then we have some questions, clarifications. And the product owner might not even remember what she wanted the first place when she wrote it. And it becomes this async ping-pong where you kind of try to figure out what to do. And you're not able to begin the implementation.",
    "context": "The speaker explains why, once the agent did the coding, turning a product owner's request into a workable task became the slowest step.",
