Will AI replace Product Managers?

Will AI replace Product Managers? Is that even a valid concern to have?

Yes, it is — for Backlog Managers.

Backlog managers have difficult times ahead, whereas Strong Product Managers will become even stronger.

Here’s why.

If your job relates to:
🙋🏽Collect requirements
🙋🏽Write backlog items (for and on behalf of the Scrum Team, always)
🙋🏽Keep an closer look at Story Points & Velocity for impact

🙋🏽Ensure work matches the utilization
🙋🏽Measure output (for that looks easy to report over understanding the outcomes)

I’m sorry. That’s a misinterpretation of product management and relates to what we call Backlog Manager.

AI will replace that sooner rather than later.

Yet, if your job relates to:

🤘Uncovering value drivers
🤘Understand customer behavior

🤘Plan with humility (having enough empathy on uncertainty)
🤘Run product experiments
🤘Evaluate solutions leading to outcomes

AI will supercharge you, reducing the time to learn.
