From Product Manager to Context Dealer: How AI Changed My Role
Introduction: The Shift in My PM Roleβ
As a Product manager, I am building proofs-of-concept (POC) and constantly hunting for context.
That's what my role is about now. I am reluctant to create roadmaps, write any required documents, and manage the backlog in Jira.
Previously, writing those requirements docs, sitting on mockups to ensure they matched the requirements, writing user stories, and many other related tasks were part of the creative process.
I enjoyed that. That was a reason I kept going in my craft for now more than a decade: from an L1 support engineer to a Senior product manager.
Now I am looking and constructing something that a "team can build in the near future." Everything else stepped aside. I don't enjoy it anymore.
