The Bullseye Model of product velocity

Paul Stovell's article challenges the myth that speed alone drives software development success, emphasizing that while rapid deployment and automation can enhance throughput, they must be coupled with a deep understanding of user needs and consistent feedback loops to achieve true product-market fit. Using the Bullseye Model as an analogy, Stovell argues that like an archer aiming for consistency rather than just speed, software teams should focus on developing reliable processes that allow them to adjust their course based on user feedback and changing conditions. The article highlights that while AI-assisted development can boost throughput, it necessitates refined deployment pipelines and governance to avoid negating potential gains. Ultimately, the goal is not just to accelerate the development process but to move strategically towards an ideal product that meets customer needs, using speed as a tool for frequent course correction rather than as a sole objective.
