Programme Objectives

  • Develop functional proficiency in using Windsurf to translate product and service requirements into working software changes, prototypes, and validated product experiences.
  • Use Cascade and codebase-aware capabilities to understand existing products, investigate implementation constraints, define changes, and collaborate more effectively with engineering teams.
  • Build reusable workflows for requirements, feature implementation, bug resolution, testing, documentation, release preparation, and product validation.
  • Apply local and cloud AI agents to parallel product-development activities while maintaining clear review and approval checkpoints.
  • Integrate product standards, organisational context, external tools, security requirements, and human product judgement into governed AI-assisted delivery.

TOC Modules

Concepts
  • Understanding the agentic IDE model and the role of AI agents in product delivery
  • Exploring Cascade, local agents, cloud agents, codebase context, and development tools
  • Mapping Product Requirement → Technical Context → Agent Task → Change → Validation
  • Identifying product activities suitable for AI-assisted execution versus accountable human decisions
Practical activities
  • Exploring an existing sample product in Windsurf
  • Asking Cascade to explain the application's purpose and major components
  • Mapping a product request to relevant areas of the application
  • Creating a product-to-development workflow map

Scenarios

Customer Feedback to Validated Product Enhancement

Customer Feedback → Product Requirement → Windsurf / Fast Context → Existing Codebase Analysis → Cascade Implementation → Functional Prototype → Acceptance Testing → Stakeholder Review → Roadmap / Release Decision

Participants transform validated customer feedback into a working enhancement while using the existing codebase to understand technical dependencies and retaining final scope and release decisions with accountable Product and Engineering owners.

Product Requirement to Multi-Agent Delivery

PRD → Acceptance Criteria → Product Rules → Agent Task Breakdown → Local Cascade Work + Cloud Agent Handoff → Feature / Testing / Documentation Outputs → Human Diff Review → Preview Deployment → Product Validation

Participants coordinate a structured multi-agent product-development workflow that converts an approved requirement into a reviewable working feature while maintaining product standards, technical validation, security controls, and human approval throughout delivery.
