The Evolution of Product Management Roles

The changing landscape of product management is leading to a re-evaluation of the role itself, especially in light of advancements in AI technologies. Skills that product managers have traditionally prioritized, such as stakeholder management, documentation, and strategic input, are becoming easier to automate, resulting in decreased value associated with those tasks. As a consequence, product managers must now focus on delivering unique and high-impact value that cannot be easily replicated by AI. This shift raises critical questions about the future of the product management profession and the specific contributions that will justify their roles within teams.
