PMing in the AI Era: From Chaos to Specs AI Can Actually Build 🤖🔥

We’re shipping faster than ever… and also explaining way more why things didn’t turn out quite right 😄

This Product Tank brings two sides of the same story:

👉 How to survive (and function) as a PM in AI chaos
👉 How to write specs that AI can actually build from

AI coding agents have compressed software delivery like never before — features that used to take weeks now ship in days. But here's the catch: agents don't improvise. They don't fill gaps, ask clarifying questions, or read between the lines. Ambiguity doesn't get resolved — it gets built wrong. The bottleneck has moved from engineering capacity to clarity, and the product specification is now the most critical artifact a PM produces.

In this talk, Dominik explores how the PM's role is fundamentally shifting as a result. We'll look at what great AI-ready specs look like in practice: grounding them in your codebase and real customer feedback, using prototypes as a diagnostic tool, and why the spec — not the code — is becoming your team's true intellectual property. He'll also show how tools like Productboard Spark are flipping the traditional workflow — instead of the PM writing and AI helping, AI drafts and the PM steers — making it possible to go from opportunity to delivery-ready specification in a fraction of the time.

If you're a PM figuring out how to stay high-leverage in the age of AI, this talk is for you.
