For the past several weeks, I’ve been immersed in an intensive AI Product Management program with Product Dive. A huge thank you to the team for creating a practical and forward-thinking learning experience. The journey has given me a deeper understanding of what it takes to build, launch, and scale AI-powered products successfully. Some of the key areas I’ve studied include: ✅ Introduction to AI Product Management and AI Fundamentals ✅ Data Science for Product Managers and Machine Learning Applications ✅ AI Product Development Lifecycle, Product Strategy, and Roadmapping ✅ Agile Methodologies for AI Projects and Integrating AI into Existing Products ✅ Human-Centered AI Design, AI Product Launch, and Go-to-Market Strategy ✅ Prompt Engineering and Vibe Coding for Product Managers ✅ Performance Metrics and KPIs for AI Products As I approach the capstone phase of the program, I’ll be moving from theory into execution by building a real AI product from the ground up. I’d love to hear from CEOs, Senior Product Managers, AI Product Managers, Product Leaders, Founders, and Hiring Managers: 🔹 What skills and capabilities do you look for when hiring an AI Product Manager today? 🔹 What separates a strong AI PM from a traditional Product Manager? 🔹 If you were evaluating a capstone project, what would make it stand out? 🔹 What real-world AI product problem would you recommend I tackle that demonstrates: * Product strategy and discovery * Customer and market understanding * AI/ML application * Prompt engineering * Human-centered design * Product analytics and KPI measurement * Go-to-market thinking My goal is to build something that reflects the realities of modern AI product management rather than just another demo application. I would greatly appreciate your insights, recommendations, and even tough critiques. Looking forward to learning from the community.
