Product Sense Is a Discipline, Not a Gift | #ATLTechWeek

​A Netflix product veteran's honest take on product management, product-market fit, and building the instincts that actually matter. 🚀

​Everyone talks about "product sense" like it's a superpower. You either have it, or you don't. Jon Bell doesn't buy that. As Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer at Obvious AI — and with over a decade building product at Netflix, Mailchimp, and Udacity before that — Jon has a simpler take: product sense isn't a gift. It's a discipline. It's built one small decision at a time, not delivered in a single flash of insight. Product-market fit works the same way. It's not a milestone you hit and move past. It's a signal you have to keep listening for, because it keeps moving.

​In this solo session, Jon shares his honest read on where product management stands today, what finding real product-market fit actually looks like from the inside, and how founders and PMs can train their product sense instead of waiting for it to show up on its own.

​Learning Outcomes

​Attendees will leave with a clear-eyed view of what product management looks like right now, past the frameworks and buzzwords. They'll understand how to recognize product-market fit as it's forming rather than waiting to confirm it after the fact, and they'll walk away with concrete habits for building product sense on purpose, rather than treating it as a talent some people simply have and others don't.
