About Boon Mei Chai:
AGILE Low-Code & Digital Transformation Specialist
* implement Agile - avoid making Eric Ries cry
* a follower of Don Norman while avoiding turning the world upside down
Act as a servant leader, I am venturing into Product Manager roles at the intersection of Agile Delivery, Low-Code/No-Code Platforms (OutSystems|Mendix|Microsoft Power Platform/Microsoft Dynamics Finance and Operations), and Digital Transformation; bringing new directions to organizational project practices for tangible and intangible benefits.
I am a keen follower of Don Norman’s user-centric design, and an advocate of Eric Ries’ lean approach to validated MVP/prototype product development, whose core purpose is to mitigate risk and create opportunities.
Over the years, I witnessed how software development has evolved—from traditional Waterfall models to Agile and Lean methodologies built on collaboration and adaptability.
I’ve seen firsthand how ERP system teams, once structured with large development, testing, gatekeeping, and project management functions, have transformed into close-knit, cross-functional collaborations, shifting towards a systematic, validated approach centered on discovery, change management, and value-driven outcomes.
I wish I could bring these experiences into the next wave of change—AI era—as a Product Manager.
