About this episode

This episode discusses the impending changes in product management due to advancements in AI and software development processes by 2026.

Traditional Product Management Is Ending in 2026 For years, product management followed a familiar playbook. Gather requirements. Write PRDs. Prioritise backlog. Run sprint rituals. Coordinate across teams. Ship features. That model worked in a world where building software was slow, expensive, and engineering bandwidth was the biggest constraint. But in 2026, that world is changing fast. AI is reducing execution time. Prototypes can be built in hours. Research can be synthesized in minutes. Code generation is accelerating delivery. Design iterations are faster than ever. Which means something important is happening: Traditional product management, built around coordination and process, is losing relevance. And a new version of product management is taking its place.
