Grounds for Discussion -- Open Topic Roundup
2026-07-29 11:30 - 13:00 (America/New_York)
This week we are back to networking and “come as you are” coffee talk! We’ll jump into some rapid-fire discussions about the product management topics and questions that are on your mind.
This is a time for our community to get to know each other and make new connections by sharing your questions and your knowledge. Come one, come all for a knowledge bomb free-for-all!
We’ll cover questions and topics that you’ve been asking about, like:
→ Getting in front of customers when life or the business makes it hard
→ Vibe-coding outpacing everyone’s judgment
→ How real PMs are getting more value out of the latest tools
And whatever you bring to the table!

Find Your Place - Volunteering at Product Camp Atlanta
2026-08-12 07:30 - 09:00
Product Camp Atlanta does not run on magic. It runs on volunteers who know how they want to contribute and who want to meet smart people while building something useful together.
In this conversational Product Coffee session, we will talk about why volunteering matters in the first place, what kinds of value people actually get from it, and how different volunteer roles fit different personalities, strengths, and energy levels.
Allison Herbert and Dave Mathias, hosts of the ProductCamp Conversations podcast, will join Jason to compare notes, share what they have seen, and keep the whole thing lively instead of turning it into a committee meeting.
We will also do a few light exercises so attendees can:
→ understand the key volunteer roles around Product Camp Atlanta
→ figure out which kinds of work sound energizing versus draining
→ spot where they could contribute, learn, and meet people faster
→ leave with a clearer sense of where they might want to jump in
This should be fun, participatory, and useful whether you are a longtime community builder or just wondering where to start.

Jtbd Stories -- How We're Getting Faster at It
2026-08-19 11:30 - 13:00
What job did you hire your coffee for this morning? Not “caffeine.” Something more specific: to make the commute bearable, to feel like a functioning adult before 9am, to give you a reason to sit still for five minutes. That’s Jobs to Be Done thinking, and it’s a lot sharper than most product discovery.
Jason’s teaming up with Devin Smith, our resident JTBD expert, for a session built around real stories: the McDonald’s milkshake that was secretly hired as a mess-free commute companion, and how Intercom split one product into four to serve four different jobs and grew 500% in 18 months.
We’ll unpack:
✅ What switch interviews reveal that regular customer interviews miss
✅ The four forces of progress (Push, Pull, Anxiety, Habit) and how they explain why people actually switch products
✅ Where AI genuinely helps with JTBD work (prep, first-draft job maps, spotting patterns in transcripts) and where it can’t replace a real conversation with a real buyer
This is a community conversation, not a presentation. Come ready to participate, and leave with one concrete thing to try this week: a short switch-style conversation with two people about a problem you’re actually working on.
Product Coffee is a global community of product folks who love bringing great ideas to market. This is where we do it over coffee, not slides.
