Product manager with a digital, data-driven, human-centric mindset. Has thoughts about digital-ready policy, road bikes, and trees.
9/X “95% of GenAI Projects fail - Product Managers are there to design for the wanted friction.” (Study of MIT)
So in the end - the tools we apply and mindset we strive for, we the PMs are here to stay - back to the beginning: m.youtube.com/watch?v=pXSZ...
Framework: Delight on top, Joy and Suprise build delight. 3 Boxes as the base: Removing friction, anticipating needs, Exceeding expectations
8/X Beyond Function: The power of #Delight in tech products - Nesrine Changuel
Categorize your features between low, surface, and deep delight by looking at emotional and functional aspects.
7/X
- Use what works - spoiler, it is advanced NLP and light reasoning (Feasibility)
- Solve the complicated problems (known unknowns), so focus on the right problem not on the simple ones, not on the chaotic, not on complex(Viability)
And nice to see #Cynefin and #KANO Frameworks
6/X AI's potential and your products - Michael Smith 1
“It is easy to make a 💩 product with AI right now” - Overpromising and Tech over problem
Back to the three circles (finally!):
- Focus on what makes the beer better with AI not internal ops or product ops (Desirability)
AI in charge? Redefining the PM Role & Career (Panel) - 2
My thoughts:
- rather focused on solution and building things, not about building the right thing?!
- in what sectors can you shift to building in order to learn/test, what sectors can’t do that because of trust/number of interactions?
AI in charge? Redefining the PM Role & Career (Panel) - 1
- EU is still struggling with software companies, not even AI companies.
- Future skill is curiosity and adaptability + prompt fluent, model literate, empathy towards tools and users + explain reasoning
Learning cycle ie
Practicing the language of money - Rich Mirnov
„Generic process discussions sound like excuses“
„Don’t bring a backlog to a gun fight“
Moneystory: Why? Simple SWAG? 2-3 Numbers most! ONLY multiply!
Show and get gestimates (ranges)!
Lead with the money story and only or choices in the and world!
5/X The rise of invisible products, interface zero - Michael Beyens
„AI will remove the constraint of feasibility“
Spiral with text in front: I‘ll admit it, I cheated. I played the most goosebump song in the whole galaxy to close.
4/X The rise of invisible products, interface zero - Michael Beyens
Skills, interfaces, patterns, designs all change as AI is becoming the consumer and agent and enables individualization.
Implications that made me think:
- Trust is changing hands
- New generation is living with coexistence
3/X Build the builders - Create the product team your product deserves (Tania Nemes)
Product Leaders = „Implement systems that survive you“ - What is your legacy? People or Product?
Reminded me of the quote: The unit of delivery is the team.
2/X What does „Good“ look like with GenAI: PM meet Evals
- FOMO vs. FOLC= Fear of loosing control
- old world was deterministic, new world is open an chaos
- Evals: 1. Prompt, 2. Dataset, 3. Evals
- Check: Accuracy, Helpfulness, Safety and Fairness
A matrix of dimensions, options and color coded information as discussion starter and moderator
1/X How to make decisions that stick - Samuel Braendle
Leveraging a matrix of dimensions and options
- Show your work, context matters
- Don’t hide options
- Update and acknowledge uncertainty
„Every option has downsides and they will eventually appear“
Day 2 - #PMF25 here are my takeaways ⬇️
06.11.2025 10:30 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 8 📌 0What deserves human attention in times of AI? Leadership and importance of the human touch - Judith Pertl
“We are not doing a good job at being humans right now.” - Brené Brown
Takeaway of the group work: It is scary that only 2of20 have a positive outlook on the future of AI and the outcomes.
9/X
David Killeen: “If I hire for PMs, I hire for storytellers”
My question at the end: Where is the collaboration with real humans, where is the human touch? If you get rid of the team through AI (10x the messages sent..)
7/X
Practical AI Use Cases for PMs 10x - David Killeen (Pendo)
This should have been written by voice dictation. It wasn’t, yet.
- Save time by voice input (120Wpm)
- Protect the time by putting tasks in the calendar
- Amplify impact by good prompts and value chains (automation)
6/X
PMing a LLM - Nick Jakobi (Cohere)
- Thinking in pre training, post training, and launch overall
- adding marketing and scientific questions to the product set = facilitate and listen
- always think about specificity <-> general
And in the end it is once again #ConwaysLaw and #AgilePlanning 4/X
Tony Beitramelli (Miro)
AI accelerates innovation by:
—> democratizes skills
—> streamlines workflows
—> Hallucinations are a feature here
3/X
Sketch of 3 Silos with an arrow from richt to left with the note: users look like this
Jon Alferness:
The part between the silos is the interesting part for the users, hit home with the context of #GovTech
Jon Alferness:
1. Restraint reveals true strength
2. Discipline beats distraction every time (Focus on the core - don’t be another AI is the chatbot bolted on to the side)
3. Bet on people - give them a destination to work towards
4. Leadership is orchestration through quality & control

Fehlende Digitalkompetenz bzw. ausbleibende Inspiration durch limitierte Bekanntheit von digitalen “Gesetzmäßigkeiten” bleibt auch in der Gesetzeserarbeitung die Herausforderung. Mit den 5Prinzipien für digitaltaugliche Regelungen versuchen wir hier Wandel zu ermöglichen #Digitalcheck

Just because people work in sprints and think they are ‘ #agile ’ doesn’t mean that they work iteratively.
It’s pretty impressive with what level of confidence government colleagues insist they work in such a way, while their practice remains pretty waterfall-like.
