Osvald Nitzky believes the current AI paradigm makes product management more challenging, requiring a focus on simplifying the product service area and identifying scalable workflows. He notes that with engineering less of a bottleneck, understanding user needs and identifying revenue-driving features has become the new bottleneck.
“I think this paradigm makes the job of product management a lot harder because we're trying not to build 10X more product, service area.”
“But we are constantly in this battle to try to simplify our product service area and find the interactions and the workflows that are most scalable.”
“So there's much, much more work to be done in understanding the user needs and users and what product actually drives revenue the most becomes the bottleneck now to servicing more demand for us.”
