Welcome to The Product Room!
I built this space because I kept having the same conversation. A product manager — smart, experienced, good at their job — telling me they felt stuck. Or isolated. Or like everyone else had it figured out and they were the only one still working it out. They weren't. And neither are you. This is a community for mid-career product people and those stepping into leadership. We'll meet live twice a month. I'll share what's worth your time each week. And this is a place to bring the real question — not the polished one. I've spent 25 years in product and several more as a coach. I know this work from the inside. And I know how much it helps to be in a room with people who get it. So. Tell me. Where are you in your product journey right now — and what's the question you can't quite get out of your head? Start there. I'm listening. Leah.

Is the PM role actually dying?
A report dropped this week from 1,500+ CPOs that's making some noise. The headline: the traditional Product Manager role will be obsolete by 2030. Product Builder roles — hybrid PM and engineering — grew 10x in a year. PM roles in SaaS declined 70%. 70%. Here's my take after 25 years in this industry: The role isn't dying. It's shedding its skin. Every few years someone announces the death of the PM and what actually happens is the weakest version of the role disappears and something stronger emerges. What's going away is the PM who manages process, attends meetings, and writes tickets. What's staying — and getting more valuable — is the person who can think across the whole system, own outcomes, and build real relationships with engineers and customers. That's always been the job. AI is just accelerating the reckoning. What do you think? Does this feel like noise or does it land differently when you look at what's happening inside your own organization? 👉 2026 CPO Insights Report

Next Session(s)?
Let's play a game of when works for everyone!? We are covering a broad timezone and may not be able to find a perfect time...but let's see what we can do! Put in some times that work for you and let's see if we can rally around a few of them!

Help shape what's next in The Product Room
Hi Everyone! Really hope everyone had a lovely long weekend (if you are in the UK, US, or some parts of Europe). It is HOT HOT HOT in Wales but we try not to complain about sunshine! I totally enjoyed our first coffee chats last week and am looking to the group to say what's next? What topics should we dig into together in our next live session?

Mind the Product: Everyone Ships Now
Saw this interesting idea for a Hackathon from Mind the Product. Looks like it could be fun! I know I've been having fun building stuff so now I just have to think of something cool to build. ;)
