#25 The art of delivery with Maciek Bąk

Our guest is Maciej Bąk — a Senior IT Project & Program Manager with 16+ years of experience, currently at Neural DSP and previously on the Avid Pro Tools team.

Maciek has delivered hundreds of audio projects. He is also a very active musician and mix engineer, which gives him a rare perspective on both industry and user sides of audio.

In this episode, we talk about:

✅ Why audio delivery is different from SaaS
✅ Projects vs Programs — and why audio companies need both
✅ How poor delivery can kill a great audio product
✅ Managing DSP, hardware, firmware and UX dependencies
✅ Agile vs Waterfall in audio development
✅ What competencies are missing in audio PMs
✅ How AI will change program management in audio
✅ What project management do startups need

If you are a Founder scaling your company, Head of Product or Product Manager and Program Manager or Scrum Master - this episode is a practical deep dive into what it really means to deliver audio products, not just think about them
