PMs are gaining the ability to build far more directly than before. The constraint is no longer technical.

The question now is whether we build the right things — the ones users actually love.

My take on PM coding → https://www.aha.io/blog/the-new-era-of-pm-coding-is-not-about-vibes

Good to be active again.

A lot will change for product managers this year. I look forward to more thoughtful conversations about building products that customers love. That was a concept we pioneered way back in 2013.

AI changes everything and nothing.

Figured launching a new product was a good reason to post. We just introduced Aha! Discovery to help product teams centralize customer research and connect insights to the roadmap. If you are doing discovery work, I would love to hear how you approach it. www.aha.io/blog/introdu...

Much of the future can be predicted if you deeply observe the present. But not enough for our fate to be determined.
