AI, Agents, and Accountability

Saison 4 · Épisode 11

mardi 2 décembre 2025 • Durée 46:28

AI Won’t Save Your Roadmap: How Product Managers Stay in Charge with Roger Snyder

AI is everywhere… including in your backlog, your boss’s OKRs, and probably your next performance review. In this episode, Rina sits down with Productside Principal Consultant and Trainer, Roger Snyder, to cut through the noise. They dig into what AI is actually good at, where it goes off the rails, and why product managers still own every decision. From vibe coding and Evals to agentic AI and ROI, Roger lays out a practical path for PMs who want to experiment without losing the plot.

Key Topics Discussed in This Episode

Key Topic #1 – AI as Your Assistant, Not Your Alibi

Roger explains why AI is a thought partner, not a magic eight ball. He shares how strong critical thinking, clear prompts, and real accountability keep PMs in charge—even when AI is doing a lot of the grunt work.

Key Topic #2 – Vibe Coding, Evals, and the ROI Problem

From vibe coding to Evals, Roger breaks down how PMs should (and shouldn’t) use AI in discovery and delivery. He also tackles why so many AI investments slow teams down instead of speeding them up, and how to avoid “AI pixie dust” features.

Key Topic #3 – Agents, Guardrails, and AI-First Orgs

Rina and Roger unpack what “agentic AI” actually means, why not all “agents” are really agents, and how to balance autonomy with accountability. They also explore what AI-first companies get right about data, governance, and experimentation.

Why Listen to This Episode?

In this thought-provoking episode, you’ll gain:

A clear mental model for what AI can and cannot do for product managers.

Practical ways to use AI for discovery, research, and communication—without delegating your judgment.

A roadmap for when to use vibe coding, when to lean on Evals, and when good old-fashioned automation is enough.

A simple way to spot real agent use cases vs. costly “because AI” experiments that blow up budgets and erode trust.

You’ll walk away with a healthier mix of AI optimism and skepticism—and a challenge from Roger to experiment with AI every day in 2026.

mardi 25 novembre 2025 • Durée 43:25

Leading Product Work in a World Where Failure Isn’t an Option

When your “product” is clean drinking water, the margin for error is… basically zero. In this episode, Portland Water Bureau Interim Director Quisha Light takes us inside the realities of leading innovation in a space defined by public trust, mission-driven work, slow-moving systems, and life-or-death stakes. From navigating union constraints to modernizing customer service to preventing $14K leak disasters, Quisha reveals what it really takes to move a legacy public organization forward — without breaking what people rely on most.

Key Topics Discussed in This Episode

1. Innovating when you can’t just “move fast and break things”

Quisha explains why public-sector work requires careful experimentation, meticulous community engagement, and a deep understanding of real human consequences.

2. Building a product culture inside government constraints

From union rules to multi-month approvals to city council hearings, Quisha breaks down how she rebuilt a learning culture and empowered teams to try small bets responsibly.

3. Customer obsession when “customers” = your entire city

Saison 4 · Épisode 9

lundi 17 novembre 2025 • Durée 44:02

How to Find Product-Market Fit (Without Fooling Yourself)

Founders love to sprint. Markets prefer you walk, listen, and maybe ask a few humans what they actually want. In this episode, product leader and startup advisor Shweta Agrawal joins Rina to break down why so many early-stage teams skip the fundamentals (customer discovery, focus, ICP clarity) and pay the price later. From health-tech to ed-tech to “AI for everyone” tools, Shweta shares raw stories, red flags, and the simple practices that separate wishful thinking from real traction.

Key Topics Discussed in This Episode

Why Founders Keep Skipping Customer Discovery
Shweta explains why “I know the market because I am the market” is the fastest path to building something no one pays for — and how to break that pattern early.

Renewals, retention, usage depth, early-adopter behavior — and why the infamous “40% Would Be Very Disappointed” test still slaps in 2025.

The building blocks founders overlook: ICP focus, positioning by region, partners who actually have reach, and the risks of going global before you even have 20 happy users.
