Event Details
AI is changing how products get built—but it’s also creating confusion about what product managers should actually focus on.
As “vibe coding,” rapid prototyping, and AI-assisted development accelerate what engineering teams can deliver, many PMs feel increasing pressure to keep up—often in ways that distract from their core role.
So what does it really mean to be an effective product manager in this new landscape? "Lost in Translation" explores how the PM role is evolving at the intersection of business, engineering, and AI—and why the fundamentals of product management matter now more than ever.
Across three practical talks, we’ll break down how PMs can stay effective by focusing on what truly drives impact.
- Translating strategy into AI opportunities: Identifying and prioritizing use cases that align with real business value.
- Bridging product and engineering implementation: Understanding the constraints, capabilities, and workflows behind AI systems.
- Ensuring what gets built actually works: Testing, validating, and iterating on AI features in real-world contexts.
Rather than focusing on tools or trends, this event centres on the core skill of translation—helping teams move faster without losing alignment, clarity or purpose.
Expect real examples, practical frameworks, and honest insights into how product and engineering teams are actually working together to build AI powered products today.
