Welcome

0:05 All right, good morning everybody. Um, no still waiting room. We have about a 100 people and some more trickling in. Um, but I think we are going to go ahead and get started because we have a lot of material to cover. Um, welcome everybody to this session on AI product management foundations. Um, we want to just start off by introducing myself. Uh, my name is Anand. I'm a lecturer at Reforge and a teacher at Stanford where I teach product management in the graduate school of engineering.

0:28 I've made a handful of different courses for Reforge. Um, including the original AI product management foundations course, a technical foundations class, and I teach the product strategy class and a few others. Um, and then in my professional background, I spent almost 20 years as a product executive at a number of different Silicon Valley companies like Dropbox and Zinga and Gusto and a few others. Um, and Jay-Z, do you want to introduce yourself? >> Yes. Um, I've been, you know, Nan and I have been teaching together in all the various venues that he mentioned for the past decade.

0:52 Um, it is definitely a core passion of ours. Um, you know, and I met at Dropbox and I've worked at Airbnb, uh, Web Flow, a number of other companies. Um, and right now I'm the CPO at Laurel, a AI time company. >> Perfect. Um, so a little about bit about the agenda for today. Um, we're going to spend roughly the first half on how AI is changing the product development process or how you take a single idea from start to finish, what that means for you as a product manager, and Jay-Z is going to take the second half and talk a little bit about how AI is changing prototyping as a PM.

1:15 Um, if we have time, we'll aim to do a few minutes of Q&A at the end, but it'll be a bit dependent on how quickly we can move
