SUMMARY:Getting Real About Going Fractional
DESCRIPTION:More product people are looking at fractional work right now\, and for good reason. The market is shifting\, companies still need experienced product perspective\, and new startups are forming with real ambition but limited resources. The work is there. The questions are too. \nThis session is for PMs and technologists who are curious about going fractional but aren’t sure where to start. It’s a roundtable\, so think peers in conversation\, not experts presenting. We’re getting a few people who actually do this work around one table to talk through how it really goes. \nWe’ll cover: \n\nHow you bill and get paid\nWhat kinds of work actually lend themselves to fractional\nHow you find business and keep it coming\nWhy companies hire fractional talent\, and how to spot the ones that will\n\nAt the table: Jason Brett\, Jackie Flake\, Scott Mitchell\, and Chuck Blevins. Pull up a chair and bring your questions. We’ll leave plenty of room for them. \nJoin us Wednesday for a practical conversation about doing fractional product work\, and how that work gets bought and sold. \n\n\nThis event is included for free with a Product Coffee Premium membership. If you aren’t already a member\, join today! \n  \nRegister

SUMMARY:Don’t Bolt AI Onto the Old SDLC
DESCRIPTION:Building software got cheap. So teams are strapping AI onto the same old product-to-design-to-engineering relay and calling it a transformation. \nThat is the trap. Bolt AI onto the old SDLC and all you have done is speed up a broken handoff. The relay was built to protect engineering time\, back when writing code was the expensive part. It isn’t anymore. So why are we still running the race the same way? \nThis week\, Flint Barrow makes the case that to really transform your process with AI\, you don’t optimize it. You rebuild it from the ground up.  \nFlint is VP of Engineering at Frequency\, where he rebuilt the platform AI-first\, and he wrote Switchback SDLC\, his published take on how engineering teams should actually work with AI. Switchback is the proof\, not the lecture. His team changed how they climb. AI goes only where it earns its keep. Humans keep the vision\, own the merge\, and make the keep-or-rebuild call. Cheap building doesn’t mean no discipline. It means the rails move to where the real risk lives now. \nRSVP now to join us for this week’s virtual meetup! \n\n\nThis event is included for free with a Product Coffee Premium membership.

SUMMARY:Let AI Kill Your Product
DESCRIPTION:Most teams point AI at shipping faster. Almost nobody points it at their own product. \nThe trap is agreement. Ask an agent to help you ship and it helps you ship. It nods. That false consensus is the real product risk. So this week we flip the assignment: give AI agents opposite jobs and let them fight. One builds the case\, one kills it. Ship versus cut. Then see what’s left standing. \nThis week we’ll talk with three guests who have their own real world experiences with “Designed Opposition.” Misha Sulpovar\, Chief AI Officer at Foley\, is rewiring and re-engineering product management around AI and context stewardship. Nandu Shah\, President of the Atlanta CTO Club and Head of Technology at Collaborative Real Estate\, teaches agents to attack each other and then come to consensus. Christian Crumlish\, product leader and author\, is building Piper Morgan\, an AI for product management and has plenty of war stories to share. \nWe’ll upgrade your thinking beyond having LLMs help with writing and research. And then we’ll put that thinking to use live as we run a live PRD\, a price\, a positioning bet\, or something you’d actually cut from v1 through the fight. \nYou’ll walk out with a way to stress-test your next product decision before you bet real money on it. \nBring a decision you’re not sure about. \n\n\n  \n  \nRegistration for Let AI Kill Your Product will open soon.
