The Evolution of Product Management Roles
The future of product management is expected to undergo a significant transformation, moving away from its current model. The emerging role will emphasize hands-on involvement with customer feedback and product building rather than just relaying specifications to engineering teams. This shift, termed 'founder mode,' empowers individuals with strong instincts, allowing them to take more control over product decisions. With advancements in AI and rapid prototyping, product managers will have the tools necessary to test ideas effectively, separating successful concepts from unsuccessful ones.
