My talk from #ixd19 "Using randomness to break down biases" is now online. I talk about crazy eights, @OblStrats, @trytriggers, and product tarot readings. Part of #adversarial #prodmgmt. vimeo.com/album/4991875/vide…

I'd argue we should generate leadership personas from more intimate meeting transcripts. It will get much closer to the real thing. This avoids blindspots and less ideal characteristics that are real. The leader could still offer commentary on why they are like that.

Every leader should create a "how to work with me" guide.
This one from Keith Yandell at DoorDash is great.

I've been thinking a lot about how much PM might change with tools like ChatGPT, GitHub's Copilot, and others. I'll give a few thoughts on how we might be in a better place as PMs with the technologies and hear stories from people already trying it out.

Are you struggling as a product manager, designer or engineering manager to create functional specifications for AI/ML projects? I used to struggle with the appropriate way to do this when I was at Facebook Reality Labs and Google...

This is a practice I’m really excited about and contributed to the soon to be updated PAIR guidebook when I was at Google. I want to share with you the way it has changed how I specify behavior for AI/ML products.

Excited to be part of this curriculum!

BIG NEWS: Today, Maven is launching "Build with AI”: a modern AI curriculum taught by experts from GitHub, OpenAI, Google, and Hugging Face.
We spent months interviewing AI leaders to decide who and what to include. The focus was on engineering, data, and product because those functions are using AI the most deeply.
Our "core curriculum" is 24 courses that indicate what modern professionals should learn to wield AI at work. Think: Prompt Engineering, LLM Ops, and AI Product Management.
Check out what we included in our “Build with AI” collection at bit.ly/maven-ai

What happens after the apocalypse but your badge keeps working?
A new short fiction piece by me just got published by Roadmap Magazine. I was honored to have this published there.
Thanks to Molly McArdle for the amazing editing. This piece 10x better with their help!

The "meetings are a waste of time" stance is just as bad as "everyone needs to be in the office."
I've had great to horrible meetings. The best ones were planned, got something done, allowed real discussion, and led to something else.
Meetings are good, actually.

When creating something new we need "just enough" confusion in the process to consider something new.
In this post I talk about how we can do that in product management with new tools that are becoming available like LLMs.

I've been a long time fan of @kevin2kelly's work and I was so excited to be invited to be on the @cooltools podcast! I have the huge Cool Tool's book in my bookcase and a stack of Wired issue 1 in my basement.
Check it out!

Some questions I try to answer in the discussion:
How do we expose misalignment or disagreement? What is "enough confusion?" How do we decide how to decide? Why can't I have John Conner's ATM thing from Terminator 2?

I got the opportunity to share @Management30's Delegation Poker Cards, @nearfuturelab's Work Kit for Design Fiction, @WorkNOBL's The Decider app, and the @flipper_net.
And I got to shill @UncertaintyProj.
