The AI-Native Product Manager: New Capabilities, New Responsibilities
AI is expanding what product managers can do, from building working prototypes and running their own data analysis to writing and submitting production code. But how far should the role evolve? When does getting hands-on make us better PMs, and when does it pull us away from strategy and vision?
Join us for a ProductTank panel where product managers from Progress share the work they’re doing today that was never part of their role before AI. Through practical examples and open discussion, we’ll explore what’s newly possible, what’s worth taking on, and where to draw the line. The panel will be moderated by Diyan Mihaylov - ProductTank Organizer and a Senior Product Manager at Uber.
