The stakes are higher for any PMs in the era of LLM driven solutions.
LLM models are a real source of leverage for any product team. Able to accomplish far more and faster than ever without organizational bottlenecks is every product person's dream come true.
Engineer can do business research with a quick prompt. PM can build an interactive prototype in a matter of minutes. And, designer can write a full-stack web application.
All this to say, the boundaries between specialization are narrowing. Specialization itself becomes a liability when skillsets are interchangeable across domain groups.
When the conditions start to shift what do you double down on?
The signal should always be the user!
A good PM deploys and moves on to the next thing. A great PM takes the users from current state to their desired state.
In other words, the job is to bridge the product and market. Speed without getting things done right is not effective. Sailing with an aimless destination is a hobby not a business.
The raw materials are changing, but your north star isn't. What gets you there isn't the speed alone, or the ability to ship faster than your competition. It is the judgment to know what to build, the taste to know how it should feel, and the vision to see where users need to go before they can articulate it themselves.
