PM Pulse: AI's Grip on Product, Backlog Bloat
Product management is rapidly evolving, driven by the rise of AI. New episodes from Product Coalition discuss cultivating positive mindsets, building psychological safety within teams, and onboarding PMs. Crucially, Brendan Fortune highlights the changing role of product managers as AI becomes more integral to product development. Leaders are also looking at how AI can help with hiring product talent.
Meanwhile, HackerNoon is focusing on practical, day-to-day challenges. Articles cover the reasons for overloaded backlogs, frameworks for prioritization (VITALS), and emerging technologies PMs need to master by 2026. A particularly interesting article details how one PM replaced a junior developer with ChatGPT and built three bots in a week, showcasing both the potential and disruption of AI in the field.
Why it matters: The integration of AI is no longer a future trend, but a present reality for product managers. Adapting skills, prioritizing effectively, and fostering psychological safety are essential for navigating this new landscape. Ignoring these shifts puts product teams at a significant disadvantage.
