As product manager roles are transmutating from a pure manager type role to a PM engineer type role, here's the checklist for you - 1. Everyday play and experiment with different AI tools, internally make a list on which model to use for what purpose (this step is critical, as this compounds). 2. Never use AI for the initial draft when you are writing something. Writing brings you detailed clarity and in this AI age, clarity is king. Finish up your draft with AI, but start manually. 3. Always pay and use the frontier model. Don't cut corners here. The output of an Opus 4.6 is drastically different from sonnet when it comes to complex tasks. Having said that, develop a mental map on which model to use for what complexity of tasks. Otherwise you will just burn tokens for simple tasks. 4. When learning or understanding a concept, be deliberate and progressive when using the AI tools as well. For example, start with ChatGPT, take that output, understand it, add your own thoughts and then go to claude. Again point number 3, do apples to apples. If you are using the free tiers, treat all the free tiers as equals. 5. Learn to write agent native specs. Agent native specs are living docs which live in the repo, which the agent has direct access to. Take care of the smaller nuances. For example - If your team is using a context window of 100k models, then don't write specs which are too large. Eventually the agent will run out of context and start hallucinating. 6. When you have developed a strong intuition about points 1-5, then and only then build. The world is moving away from a PRD driven build environment to an agent spec driven build environment. Internalise that change. Change your workflow to adapt to it. 7. Build prototypes with the speed of thought, but remember these are prototypes and not actual production code. The prototype to production code journey is a bit far along. But that doesn't mean, you don't build, build your ideas quickly. Again the idea here is for you to develop enough intuition and judgement so that you can keep up with the agent. 8. As we are shifting from "vibe coding" to "agentic engineering", please remember this shift is going to be chaotic. Remember the world required 1-2 yrs to fully understand what actually is an "agent". So don't get overwhelmed, don't get any FOMO. Remember there's still a lot of time for the world to make this transition. All you can do is prepare better. Finally, anyone who is transitioning from a traditional PM to an AI native PM builder, remember, "chaos is a ladder". Be curious, be eager to learn, be adaptable, be flexible. Spend a lot of your time with the AI tools, stress test them, understand their limits, understand their context window and memory. This is in no way any exhaustive list (in fact I would argue this is a beginners list). But as you climb each stair in this ladder, you will develop enough intuition to move even further.

I was recently talking to a Product Manager at J.P. Morgan London. #Day72 of #HelpingAspiringPMs100Days We were discussing about the roles and responsibilities of a Product Manager at JP Morgan. In all MNCs, senior management, such as the Director of Product or VP of Product, decides what functionalities are going to be built, and the Product Manager works and executes these functionalities within a given time frame. However, in a Start-up, you will collaborate with the CEO to determine the functionalities we should build. As everything has its pros and cons. In a startup, you have more control over product decision-making compared to MNCs. MNCs can offer higher salaries than start-ups. Would you like to join a start-up or a Large MNC?

Everyone obsesses over the front end—the UI, the flows, the pretty stuff. But great experience? That's built in the decisions you make long before anyone clicks a button. Here's the problem: every business comm platform now has the same features. Same promises. Same pitch deck. So if we can't win on capabilities anymore, what's left? Experience. But not the surface-level kind. The kind that makes complexity invisible. The kind where your tool doesn't just work—it disappears into someone's day so seamlessly they can't imagine going back. Experience is an architecture. That's the only moat left 👇 Well worth the read for anyone thinking about how to future-proof the way they engage. https://lnkd.in/gsM2ZmJA

Org design is going to be incredibly important very soon. In fact, that shift has already started (this is anecdotal data from Klaar customers - I have not conducted a detailed study). For the last so many years, org structure had little to experiment with. You had a manager with a defined span. Then you had pretty neatly defined career paths. Slightly ambitious orgs played around with ideas that never really caught any steam because they were more of experiments vs a necessity: - flat hierarchies - Individual Contributor career track - pods OD teams primarily worked on BU/ Geography/ Business Line alignment. Important? Of course. Exciting? Meh. The reason org design was fundamentally untouched was because work itself had been fundamentally left untouched. More or less. With the advent of truly agentic systems like Claude Co-work, this is set to change massively. You suddenly have managers overseeing human + AI agents. Do you gate-keep the AI agents to only report to one manager or do you open it up for wider matrix reporting? Does it need to report into somebody at all? OD teams are about to get incredibly busy.

Bangalore PMMs, Product Marketing over Chai is back: Workshop-style. On Sept 14 in Bangalore, PMM over Chai is hosting a hands-on format meet-up designed to help new and seasoned PMMs: — Prep for interviews and assignments — Practice real frameworks in a safe space — Build a more strategic lens on their work Our first Workshop Edition. Because let’s be honest: reading about frameworks is easy. Actually practicing them, getting feedback, and seeing how others apply them is what really matters. Instead of panels or talks, we’ll break into small groups to tackle real PMM challenges, from building a GTM plan to revamping product messaging. And then peer-review each other’s work. Think of it as a PMM workout. Less theory, more doing. September 14 | HSR Layout, Bangalore Register here for details: https://luma.com/7d7hcx33 Note: Since we’re moving into a co-working space for these workshops, there’ll be a small entry fee to pay the venue. Have a framework you want to try? DM me or comment below to get added to our WhatsApp group, and let’s turn your framework into a breakout workshop.
