Hey there, Product Managers! Let’s talk about the one thing that’s reshaping our world faster than we can say “MVP”—AI.
As someone who’s had the privilege of leading product management for giants like Google, JPMorgan Chase, and Credit Suisse, as well as steering agile and AI-enabled strategies for startups and enterprises across 4 continents, I’ve seen one thing repeatedly: the best product managers aren’t just adapting; they’re setting the pace.
In the last few years, I’ve worked on AI-enabled products, written widely on product management and agile (pieces that readers say hit home), and watched as AI transformed how teams create, collaborate, and innovate. But let’s face it—AI can feel like a buzzword that’s more overwhelming than helpful. So, how do you embrace it in a way that’s meaningful, impactful, and, dare I say, fun?
Why AI matters for you (and bring along your team)
AI isn’t here to replace the magic of intuition, storytelling, and creativity that make great product management shine. Instead, think of it as the ultimate sidekick—helping you automate repetitive tasks, analyze massive datasets in seconds, and uncover insights you didn’t know were there.
Imagine this:
Hours spent sifting through user feedback? Done in minutes.
Sorting through data dashboards? Automated.
Drafting tedious reports? AI’s got your back.
With AI in your corner, you and your team can focus on the big picture—making high-value decisions, fostering creativity, and building products that wow your customers.
How to get started with AI (and inspire your team)
Start with curiosity: Approach AI like you would a new market. What problems can it solve for your team? What’s one small experiment you can run? Share your findings—it’s contagious!
Lead by doing: Use AI tools yourself and share the results. I’ll never forget the time I tried an AI feedback analyzer—it turned hours of user research into a few minutes of clarity. When I showed my team, they couldn’t wait to try it.
Solve real problems: Skip the hype and focus on real pain points. Too much time organizing backlogs? Overwhelmed by customer feedback? Bring AI in as the hero to those specific challenges.
Create a safe space to learn: Experiment without pressure. AIPathway is built to help teams learn hands-on, in a way that feels natural and approachable—no fear of “getting it wrong.”
