About Scott Varho
Leading product or engineering at a mid-market SaaS company? You’ve been told to “use AI” in your PDLC. But nobody’s told you how. to actually lead the transition to AI-enablement, where it fits, or how to manage expectations - your team\'s and leadership\'s. Maybe you’ve been tasked with identifying use cases. Maybe your execs want a plan by end of quarter. Maybe your team’s already tried a tool or two…and now everyone\'s frustrated. And in the middle of it all, you\'re still trying to ship product, support your team, and hit this quarter’s goals. I work with mid-market SaaS product and engineering leaders who are being asked to bring AI into their products, teams, or workflows, but don’t want to waste time on the wrong tools. Our AI-PDLC Transition Framework helps you answer: Where does AI realistically fit in your PDLC now? What principles should use to decide what \"good\" looks like in your context? How do you report back to leadership with something substantial? Most teams are either doing too much (chasing shiny objects) or not enough (paralyzed by the noise). We help you create a practical evaluation criteria, manage stakeholders and evolve alongside the industry. We can take you from \"trying things\" to leading on this topic. Clients come to us when-They’re under pressure to show movement on AI but aren’t sure what’s signal vs distraction -They’ve started pilots that fizzled out or created more questions than answers -Stakeholders have expectations that seem unrealistic to your context -Their teams are hesitant to adopt tools without clarity on where things are going The best place to start? Our free AI Catalyst Call. In one focused session, we’ll assess where you are, where you’re headed, and what move makes the most sense next.
