Declutter, Adapt, Fix — 3 Sharp PM Reads to Spark Your Week
Hey product friends — I’m slowly getting back in the habit of writing my own stuff, and you know you need to stretch properly if you're exercising muscles you haven't used for a while. 😉 So I'll ramp up by creating a few roundups every few days, showing casing other folks’ great content.
As we slide into the week, here are three fresh reads that cut through the noise: a tidy-up framework for cluttered roadmaps, a reality check on what hiring managers actually want from PMs in 2025, and a smart reminder that AI won’t magically fix bad processes. Enjoy the spark for Monday’s stand-ups!
1. The Marie Kondo / KPK Product Strategy – Stéphane Derosiaux
Quarterly ‘Keep-Pivot-Kill’ reviews are the product equivalent of decluttering your digital closet — ruthless focus that frees up bandwidth for big bets.
2. What Companies Really Want from PMs and POs in 2025 – Alexei Panin
Panin’s blunt message: in the AI-soaked talent market, predictable delivery and radical adaptability outshine any alphabet-soup certification.
3. “AI” Is NOT Going to Fix Product Management. But You Can. – Saeed Khan
A timely reminder that slapping GPT on broken PM processes just scales the chaos — fix the system before the tooling.
