Product cycle times dropped from months to hours and revenue growth went from 12% to 23%.

"If you think of a cycle time from concept through to production software, typically for us, that was measured in months. When we came back in May, we already started measuring that in weeks. And as we went through last year we turned that from weeks into days. And today, our cycle time is measured in hours.
We can cycle from concept through to production in hours. And that means a road map that might have taken, say, a whole year, we plan out a whole year road map. That can be literally a week now. So this pace at which we produce software is no longer a problem that we have different challenges instead. But it's fundamentally transformational in terms of what it means for our business.
So if I back to the end of last year, our growth was running at about 12% per annum. To date, it's running at 23% per annum. Our vision is that we'll double our revenues by 2029. I think I've also been told I'm sandbagging on that.
The interesting thing there is that growth. It's not driven by going faster. It's driven by us asking a totally different question, and that is, if we can go 50x faster than what does that look like for our customers. So what does 50x faster look like for our customers?
And for us, that meant we've literally rebuilt our product from scratch. -- we've, in effect, reimagined what a new category of product might be."
