The State of Product in Israel 2026

Do most PMs think AI is costing them their jobs, or making them more valuable?
Are PMs writing code now, or just posting about it on LinkedIn?
And how many developers does one PM work with these days?

Everyone has a gut feeling. ProductX has the numbers, and some of the answers surprised even them. The team behind Israel's annual product conference ran the State of Product Management in Israel 2026 survey. It covers how product teams are built, how decisions get made, which AI tools PMs use, and how the job itself is shifting.

In this panel, four product leaders will walk through the results. Don't expect one neat conclusion: they read the same data in very different ways, and that's where the conversation gets interesting.
