Programme Objectives

  • Understand how Windsurf can support product and service teams in converting requirements and ideas into functional digital prototypes.
  • Explore AI-assisted coding, codebase understanding, debugging, and iterative development from a product-management perspective.
  • Use structured instructions to translate customer problems, user stories, workflows, and acceptance criteria into prototype features.
  • Apply Windsurf to rapid validation, product-engineering collaboration, technical feasibility exploration, and stakeholder demonstrations.
  • Recognise security, technical validation, customer-data, production-readiness, and human product-ownership requirements.

TOC Modules

Concepts
  • Understanding Windsurf as an AI-assisted development environment
  • Understanding the role of Cascade in code generation, explanation, modification, and development assistance
  • Identifying product use cases across prototypes, MVP exploration, internal tools, and feature validation
  • Differentiating AI-assisted implementation from product and engineering accountability
Practical activities
  • Exploring Windsurf and Cascade through a sample product task
  • Creating a simple feature from a natural-language requirement
  • Mapping Product Need → AI Instruction → Prototype → Human Review

Scenarios

Customer Need to Functional Product Prototype

Customer Problem → Product Requirement → Windsurf / Cascade Instructions → Functional Prototype → User Journey Testing → Stakeholder Feedback → Product Review

Participants convert a defined customer need into a working prototype while retaining human ownership of product priorities, technical feasibility, and further investment decisions.

Existing Feature to Product Enhancement

User Feedback → Enhancement Requirement → Existing Codebase Review → Windsurf-Assisted Change → Functional Testing → Product & Engineering Validation → Approved Improvement

Participants use Windsurf to understand an existing feature and prototype an enhancement while ensuring technical review, product acceptance, and production decisions remain human-led.
