SaaS teams are falling into two extremes right now:
- AI-powered SaaS teams moving at a breakneck pace—roadmaps shifting weekly, product teams shipping nonstop, and marketing scrambling to keep up (while also getting bombarded by their own shiny objects).
- More traditional SaaS teams stuck in analysis paralysis—waiting for perfect data, overanalyzing, and second-guessing instead of fixing what’s broken.
The problem? Both extremes lead to the same outcome: Teams are busy but not making progress, nothing really sticks, and the customer experience suffers.
This kind of decision-making chaos isn’t new, but with how quickly things are changing in tech because of AI, it’s more extreme than ever.
In this episode of the Forget The Funnel podcast, Georgiana breaks down:
- Why speed without clarity leads to wasted effort
- How teams end up optimizing in silos and breaking the customer experience
- What first principles actually help teams make better decisions—faster
If your team is moving too fast, too slow, or just feeling stuck, this one's for you.
