Keynote: The BA–UX Power Shift in the Age of Intelligent Products
As products become more intelligent, the real challenge is no longer designing features—it’s defining decisions.

This talk explores how the roles of Business Analysts and UX professionals are shifting in a world where systems can act, recommend, and decide. Rather than replacing these roles, intelligent products increase the need for clear thinking about boundaries, control, and responsibility.

We will look at how traditional user flows and requirements fall short, why decision boundaries matter more than functionality, and where BA and UX now lead—shaping what systems are allowed to do and when humans stay in control.

Key takeaway:
As products become more autonomous, BA and UX become decision architects—responsible for how products think, not just how they work.
