Many view autonomy as a wonder pill, but without alignment, it often leads to silos and conflict. True autonomy isn't independence; it requires shared constraints like vision and strategy to flourish in a team environment. https://mdalmijn.com/p/autonomy-is-overrated-why-alignment #ProductManagement #Agile

Agile isn't dead, but our hunger for shared learning may be. Allan Kelly argues that by stopping experimentation and post-work meetups, we let Agility stagnate. We must revive that curiosity to thrive in the AI era. https://www.allankelly.net/archives/10705/agile-is-dead-assisted-suicide-can-you-revive-it/ #Agile #ProductManagement

AI prototyping is shifting from a "nice-to-have" to a core PM skill. The Mastery Ladder is a brilliant breakdown of the 15 skills needed to move from basic prompting to true product shaping.

When CPO/CTO alignment is fake, teams pay the price in mixed signals and fake work. CPTO is best. If you must keep the roles separate, real partnership is the ability to disagree productively behind closed doors. Stop paying the Alignment Tax.

Product teams often suffer from a 'perspective problem'. While leadership tracks market trends, teams focus on specific users. To build great products, we must translate between three layers. Misalignment is usually a lens issue: https://eleganthack.com/everyone-on-your-team-is-right-and-thats-the-problem/ #ProductManagement #Agile

AI risks repeating the Business Process Reengineering failures of the 90s by prioritising tech over people. We must avoid obliterating tacit knowledge in the rush to automate. Context is king:

Ignore the simplified OODA loop you see in management decks. John Boyd’s true vision was far more radical than just "iterating fast". It was about how our prior orientation shapes what we can perceive. To master complexity, we must learn to destroy and recreate our mental models.

Building for 2024 in a 2026 market is a recipe for failure. As AI shifts us from MVP to Minimum Productive Outcomes, moats and Agile processes must evolve. Avoid defending sunk costs and reassess your product-market fit: https://steveblank.com/2026/03/17/your-startup-is-probably-dead-on-arrival/ #ProductManagement #AI

This piece on "Shadow IT" and AI coding truly resonates. AI promises democratised programming: the potential for security risks, testing nightmares, and duplicated efforts for product orgs is huge. It's a key challenge we must address. #AI #ProductManagement https://www.allankelly.net/archives/10605/the-shadow-it-hanging-over-ai/
