In this fireside chat with John Siefert, Kenny Mullican, CIO, Paragon Films, shared how AI is helping the company’s lean IT team accelerate projects, reduce its backlog, and turn ideas that once took months into opportunities that can be tested in days.
Key Takeaways
AI Expands What Lean IT Teams Can Accomplish: With a small IT team and a long project backlog, Paragon Films has traditionally focused its limited resources on the initiatives with the greatest impact. AI is changing that equation by allowing the team to take on more projects without requiring a proportional increase in resources.
Rapid Experimentation Makes More Projects Possible: Work that once appeared too time-consuming to pursue can now be prototyped in a matter of days. This allows the team to test ideas quickly, learn what works, and invest further in the projects that show the most potential.
AI Turns the Backlog into an Opportunity: Instead of accepting that some worthwhile projects may never get done, AI is creating a path to explore more of them. The ability to move from months of estimated effort to rapid iteration gives the business greater flexibility to pursue new ideas and improvements.
