From Backlogs to Belief Loops
belief loops involve agents constantly updating the product's direction based on new data, replacing the 'frozen' backlog with a liquid prioritisation engine.
The Death of the Backlog
The backlog is where good ideas go to die. It is a linear list in a non-linear world. Belief Loops replace the backlog with a recursive synthesis engine. Agents ingest telemetry, support logs, and market shifts to constantly recalculate the 'next best action' for the product. The roadmap is no longer a document; it is a live operating state.
Recursive Priority
Prioritization is usually a political process. In the agentic era, it is a data process. Agents evaluate every potential feature against the firm's 'strategic manifesto' and 'resource availability' in real-time. This ensures that the sovereign architect's intent is always being manifested in the most efficient vector possible.
01Feedback-to-Code: Zero Latency
Agents identify a user pain point and propose a code-fix in the same cycle.
02The end of the feature-factory
Agentic PMs focus on systemic clarity rather than just shipping more buttons.
