Product Management in Practice by Matt LeMay

The job is ambiguity and impact; the craft is communication, organisation, research and execution.

Three takeaways for AI PMs

• Ask the obvious question early: LeMay's advice is that the PM who asks the naive question in the first meeting saves the team weeks.
• Tie your work to impact, out loud
• Communicate the uncertainty, not just the plan: Over-communicating is a fault LeMay forgives; hiding bad news is not.

Do this Monday

• In your next team meeting, ask one question you think is too obvious to ask and note what the answer reveals.
• Before Friday, write one sentence linking your current project to a business-critical number and share it with your manager.
• The next time an eval or metric moves the wrong way, send the update within the day, with the number and your next step.
