Product Management Fundamentals: Thriving in the AI Era
How AI is changing product management: the end of engineering scarcity, captains instead of PMs, decentralized teams, prototyping with specs that generate code, a real company example, on-call builders, and why strategy foundations matter more than ever.

- Explain how the old PM model worked
- Understand why engineering is no longer the scarce resource
- Describe the captain model and decentralization
- Prototype with specs and AI tools
- Apply guardrails like on-call ownership
- Keep strategy foundations strong in AI-native teams
