Summary

Keren Fanan doesn't come from a tech based family, yet has worked in tech for the last 15 years. She's not a developer herself, but has always been drawn to software in general, as in her words, software runs the world. She studied Industrial Engineering, but quickly moved into product roles, working for AT&T, Gett and Moon Active in the past. Deep down, she always wanted to found a company of her own. Outside of tech, she lives near Tel Aviv in Israel, and has lived there her whole life. Her and her 3 kids like to travel, go camping, and be in nature as much as possible.

Keren and her co-founders felt similar pains in the industry, all from different angles. No matter how good their ideas were, no matter the initiative, there is always a long process in software dev to bring it to life. This was especially true for non technical founders. They wanted a way to bring their ideas straight to production, without having to wait on the full life cycle.

This is the creation story of MyOp.

0:00.0	Guys, I've got something cool to tell you about.
0:02.5	As an engineering leader, a manager, and an engineer myself, I'm geeking out over a new product I'm just discovering that helps me with each of these points of view.
0:11.0	The great team at SEMA, builders of the SEMA intelligence platform, have been working on what they call the product roadmap radar.
0:19.0	It's this integrated solution that uses generative AI to observe
0:22.2	your code and Jira in order to summarize, synthesize, and make it easier to deliver your roadmap.
0:28.2	It not only helps keep your roadmap on track, but it helps reduce the time engineers spend in

0:44.5	mapping for you. My favorite part? I'm glad you asked. The radar doesn't just tell you about your
0:49.8	roadmap. It suggests changes you need to make based on the code that's been written and the stories that have been addressed.
0:56.0	No commenting, no special setup, all generative AI.
1:00.0	It gives you an outside view of your roadmap based on the code and projects a target completion date based on outstanding work and activity.
1:08.0	Again, no comments, no special setup.
1:10.0	It even detects shadow work when
1:12.3	development is being done but Jura isn't being updated. I'm pretty jazzed about it, and I think
