56 Workflows Did What Training Couldn’t (opens the original)
Read excerpt
David F., COO at the nation’s leading pediatric research hospital known for breakthrough childhood cancer treatments, had already tried all the usual solutions.He had given his product team tools, access, and training. Yet despite these investments, none of it was changing how product work got done.Half of the PMs were using AI once a week or less and average AI fluency across the group was at 1 out of 5.The problem wasn’t that PMs weren’t using AI. They were, but mostly for surface level tasks.
Product in an Age of Abundance (opens the original)
Read excerpt
AI has been around for almost four years, and I continue to be surprised by how underprepared most product organizations are for what’s coming.It’s not that they aren’t using AI. Almost all PMs, designers, and engineers are using it. And most CPOs I talk to are actively trying to figure out how to get more value from it.But much of that effort is focused on productivity: how do we use AI to help our teams do what they already do, only faster?That’s important. But I think it misses the much bigge
The Human Skills AI Can't Replace (opens the original)
Read excerpt
AI is making it possible for product teams to move from an idea to an output faster than ever before.An LLM can now write a complete strategy, PRD, and roadmap in hours.

Only a few are using it to improve how their teams make decisions.That gap, between output (or slop) and judgment, is what I’m covering in a free live session on October 1st.<a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" href="https://substack
Every PRD Now Needs a Prototype (opens the original)
Read excerpt
User experiences are difficult to define with words.Yet product managers have been doing just that for decades, using requirements docs, stick diagrams, and workflows to get their ideas across.Why?Because building real prototypes required time, budget, and resources. None of which most PMs had. So they stuck to the path of least resistance.And while that worked (mostly), it carried some real costs. Teams could misunderstand the experience, discover gaps too late, and miss better ideas.AI changes
