Amy Mitchell

After 150 weeks of writing about product management…
the biggest surprise isn’t the articles.
It’s what product managers have taught me.
 
Three years ago, I started writing to share what I knew.
Today, this newsletter reflects what product managers are actually working through.
 
To mark week 150, I pulled back the curtain on:
• The most-read themes of the year
• How each article actually comes together
• The topics I intentionally don’t cover
• What I’m focusing on next

Product Management Work Today by Amy Mitchell

I recently hit a stretch of product work where almost nothing was clear
fuzzy intent, 
shifting expectations, 
lots of noise. 

I kept trying to choose the “right” option… and it only made things worse.

Then I remembered something I’ve learned (and relearned) over years of product manager work:
  - Ambiguous work isn’t an options problem.
  - It’s a systems problem.

When I stop hunting for the perfect option and instead build a simple system to shape the problem, I get traction again. The work starts moving. I start moving.

I wrote down the 6-part system I now use when I feel stuck in ambiguity.

System to Handle Ambiguous Work by Amy Mitchell

Another function combines into product. Elena Verna brings us reasons to embrace brand in your product. 
 
Brand+Product = caring about how your product makes people feel.
 
My 3 favorite reasons brand is a product job:

1️⃣ Your product is the brand
          - Your product is the user's first touchpoint
 
2️⃣ User generated content and reviews outweigh traditional product visibility
           - Your product reputation is going to be seen before any marketing campaigns
 
3️⃣ Think about how your product makes people feel
            - People talk about products that feel different
 
"Brand isn’t a marketing exercise anymore. It’s a product responsibility."

Learning from an AI-first CPO. If you want to stop sprinkling AI around your product, Rina Alexin's interview with Aleks Bass, CPO at Typeform, breaks down what AI-first means.
 
3 changes to be AI-first:
 
1️⃣ Procurement is your new best friend
       - POC (Proof of concept) procurement to test multiple solutions in parallel safely
 
2️⃣ Clarity + Observability = Control
       - Every team has a clear AI strategy
       - Every initiative must be measurable
 
3️⃣ Speed from experiments to outcomes
       - AI becomes a quiet multiplier instead of a headline
 
"The best AI for product managers is the kind that disappears into better outcomes."

How to Build an AI-First Organization: Lessons from Typeform’s CPO, Aleks Bass

I’ve seen smart teams get stuck in the same debate for weeks.

It’s rarely about who’s right. It’s about what kind of decision everyone’s really making.

When you recognize the layers, the emotion starts to make sense. 
And progress follows.

Thank you to Isaac Goldfarb for asking how to recognize layered decisions.
