Prioritization Is Broken: How Good PMs Make Bad Choices (And How to Fix It)
2025-04-09 07:30 - 09:00
Every product manager has a prioritization method they swear by—until the launch slips, the roadmap derails, and the strategy goes fuzzy. So what’s going wrong?
This week at Product Coffee, we’re taking an honest look at why even solid prioritization frameworks like RICE, MoSCoW, and WSJF often crumble under pressure. Spoiler: it’s not always the framework—it’s how (and when) we use them.
✨ Explore the hidden pitfalls of today’s most common prioritization tools
✨ Hear how experienced PMs spot trouble early—and adjust on the fly
✨ Curious about approaches like Bet-Driven Prioritization, Opportunity Solution Trees, or the 60-Second Business Case? You might just hear a fresh take or two.
Come ready to swap stories, ask questions, and rethink the way you make tough calls. Prioritization is hard—but you’re not alone in figuring it out.

The Art & Science of Customer Discovery: How to Conduct an Experiment
2025-04-16 11:30 - 13:00
8-time ProductCamp award winner David Eckoff brings his acclaimed ProductCamp Fall 2023 morning keynote to Product Coffee—packed with brand-new insights to help you change how you think, what you do, and the results you get.
We’re diving into one of the trickiest traps in product: knowing just enough about your customers to think you’re on the right path—but not enough to know you’re off track. That blind spot? It can derail even the best teams.
In this energizing session, David shares practical tools and hard-won wisdom rooted in the science of customer discovery:
✨ Turn the scientific method into your product superpower
✨ Learn how to run experiments that reveal the unknown—and reduce risk
✨ Avoid common pitfalls in measuring experiment results

Grounds for Discussion: Hot Takes on the Real Value of AI
2025-04-23 07:30 - 09:00
AI is everywhere—but is it actually helping product teams make better decisions, or just flooding roadmaps with hype?
This session was sparked by a sharp discussion in the Product Coffee Premium Slack, where Dhruv Alexander shared three articles that together made a bold claim: the real value of AI isn’t in automation or GenAI—it’s in improving how we make decisions. But before that can happen, teams need to be data-savvy and aligned on what “good” looks like.
☕️ Where the real value of AI lies—and why it’s not where you think
☕️ What it takes to be “AI ready” as a team or company
☕️ Why decision-making is AI’s most powerful (and overlooked) use case
☕️ How PMs can drive data literacy without turning into analysts
Whether you’re deep into building AI features or just trying to make sense of the noise, this session is your grounding shot.

If I Could Build It
2025-05-14 07:30 - 09:00
Vibe coding is hot. There’s a lot of talk about how tools like Replit, Loveable, and Bolt.new can accelerate solutioning through fast prototyping. But what if you used them to _sharpen your thinking_ instead?
In this session, Jason shares how quick, scrappy prototypes can help product managers clarify the opportunity, pressure-test assumptions, and prepare better conversations with engineering—without overstepping into solution mode. You’ll leave with a workflow to refine problem statements, uncover hidden constraints, and stay in exploration longer… where the best insights live.
This will be a community discussion—together we’ll explore how you _could_ use prototyping on your own product team to clarify problems, test assumptions, and set up better handoffs to design and engineering. Real-world examples welcome, hot takes encouraged.
✨ A workflow for exploring opportunities without solving too soon
✨ How to use prototypes to ask sharper questions, not give answers
✨ Why devs will love you more when you sketch less and listen better
If you’ve ever tried to spec something too early (and regretted it), this one’s for you.

The Market Isn't Confusing—You Just Aren't Listening
2025-05-21 11:30 - 13:00
Let’s cut to it: most product managers are never taught how to run a great user interview. We fumble through conversations, validate what we already believe, and walk away with surface-level soundbites. Then we wonder why our backlogs feel bloated and our personas feel fake.
In this session, we’re going to watch it done right. A real user interview, followed by a live “Persona Decoder Sprint” where PMs work out loud to extract pain, motivations, and desired outcomes—right in front of you.
✨ Learn how great PMs actually listen—and what they listen for
✨ See how to turn a messy convo into a crystal-clear persona
✨ Walk away with fresh prompts, patterns, and tools to use on your next call
If you’ve ever felt unsure about what “good” discovery looks like, this session will change the way you hear your customers.

Grounds for Discussion - Are Personas Even Useful Anymore?
2025-06-04 11:30 - 13:00
It’s 2025 and your persona doc might be collecting more dust than insight. This week, we’re asking the big question: Are personas even useful anymore? Or have they been replaced by archetypes, jobs-to-be-done, or just vibes?
We’ll explore how top PMs are thinking about customer understanding—and what’s actually working in the field.
But that’s not all.
We’re also digging into a common career dilemma: Is it better to go deep in one industry or wide across many? We’ll unpack the pros, cons, and real talk around building horizontal vs. vertical product expertise.
Grounds for Discussion is our signature blend of roundtable and town hall—an open, engaging space where product thinkers, leaders, and builders gather to explore the questions that matter most to our community. No slide decks. No rehearsed answers. Just thoughtful dialogue over coffee (or whatever fuels you) with experts and executives who’ve been there.
Whether it’s career transitions, discovery struggles, team dynamics, or strategic clarity, we dig into the real stuff—with coffee in hand and curiosity on tap.
It’s one more way we live our mission: to help product professionals grow faster and deliver exceptional market value—together.

Protect Your Peace! Getting Unstuck with Difficult Stakeholders
2025-06-18 11:30 - 13:00
Ever find yourself stuck in a loop of frustration with a stakeholder who just won’t budge? You’ve tried to communicate clearly, you’ve done your homework, and the dynamic still feels draining.
This workshop isn’t about fixing your stakeholders or convincing them to do things your way. Instead, it’s about finding your footing when things feel stuck, staying grounded in your own values, and learning how to navigate tough dynamics as the leader you want to be.
Join Sam Duong Woloszynski and Toby Johnson for a hands-on session focused on self-leadership under pressure. Together, we’ll explore how to:
– Use a simple self-coaching tool to reset and reframe challenging moments
– Work skillfully with stuckness – without forcing resolution or momentum
– Show up with integrity and a collaborative mindset, even when others don’t
This session is for anyone who wants to protect their peace, get unhooked from reactive patterns, and make thoughtful choices as a product leader.

Everyone wants AI. Few know what that actually means. Enter Misha Sulpovar, who’s been building AI products since before ChatGPT had a fan club. This session is part confessional, part tactical deep-dive—and yes, we’re acknowledging that 7:30 AM beer might mean non-alcoholic.

✨ Why product teams need a shared language for AI—even if you’re not “technical”
✨ The weird, wonderful pressure of being “the AI person” in every room

Why Customer Interviews Suck--And How Smart PMS Fix Them
2025-06-27 11:00 - 13:00
Customer interviews are one of the most powerful tools in a product manager’s toolkit—and also one of the most misused. Too often, they’re awkward, aimless, or just plain unproductive—for both the PM and the participant.
In this hands-on Product Coffee workshop, we’ll break down why customer interviews often fall flat—and walk through a simple, repeatable approach to make them actually drive your roadmap.
You’ll get the Product Coffee Interview Planning Canvas and build your own real interview plans during the session. You’ll also leave with a list of people to talk to—and a clear plan for how to make those conversations worth everyone’s time.
Whether you’re great at talking to customers or still feel a little awkward doing it, this session will help you shift from polite chats to insight-rich conversations that spark real product innovation.
