Bring it on…I laugh in your face when you realize productivity grinds to a halt. What works for OCI can not work for applications. You know why? You have real customers on Oracle applications, requiring real human relationships not failing genetic interactions. That’s with CM will crash out like a race car messing up on the apex of a corner.
Partially, yes. AI will be used as a productivity tool for these roles allowing humans to do more. This will result in fewer of these type of positions, especially junior roles.
@cc That’s why VPs have been mandated to develop and use AI tools to automated the day to day work of PMs in their orgs.
oh good luck extracting requirements and concessions from customers using AI
I am a product manager and I consider it to be one of the most interesting and most impactful jobs in SW there is.
That's what every AI casualty said before they were replaced.
if they are rewriting what customers ask them to, then yes,
I am a product manager and I consider it to be one of the most interesting and most impactful jobs in SW there is. Yes, there are some with close-to-zero value added, just like some devs, some managers, some [whatever], but I've so many times seen a product be going so wrong when there wasn't any steering, that you definitely want this role kept.
And a good dev can step in as a decent PM if wants to. No one says this have to be a dedicated person, but someone needs to do the work and it can be a LOT of work depending on the product.
What can be seen as converging now thanks to the AI is PM and Dev.
"Will product managers and program managers be replaced by AI"

@ad Skynet??
