Title: "Revolutionizing Product development in the Era of Generative AI"

Abstract

In today’s digital age, Generative AI has significantly transformed various areas of software product development. While there’s been plenty of literature on how Gen AI can assist PM jobs such as generating ideas, writing User stories, or defining your product market fit, very few articles provide insights into how it changes the product development lifecycle and the role of Product Managers in influencing their teams in embracing this technology.

Some critical areas of product development that have transformed with the introduction of Generative AI are as follows:

    • An assessment of an Open source vs Closed source LLM.
    • Understand upfront costs, ongoing expenses, and the cost-to-benefit ratio
    • Address data sensitivity concerns keeping in mind compliance and security reviews.
    • Effect of unpredictability and experimentation involved in LLMs to time-to-market.
    • Tolerance to probabilistic output?
    • Importance of responsible AI, adhering to ethical and legal protocols.
    • Devise metrics to measure the benefits of Generative AI

In conclusion, this proposal focuses on the emerging need for PMs to remain up-to-date on the current developments in LLM and Generative AI and how they can use these technologies to their advantage, ultimately contributing to increased customer value and organizational growth.

Biography

I embarked upon my professional journey as a software engineer and have since retained a deep-rooted passion for technology. Over time, I have worked in various roles, spanning from Engineering Manager to IC to Technical Program Manager, and I am presently working as a Platform Product Manager.

As an engineer at heart, I possess a rare ability to communicate with technical teams, evaluate complex technical issues, and propose innovative solutions. However, I soon discovered a knack for product management and identifying obstacles that hinder innovation – an intersection where I thrive.

As a Platform Product Manager, I enjoy working in the proximity of technology, leveraging my expertise to bridge gaps between Technology and innovation. I am especially passionate about converting ideas into strategic outcomes, but for me, strategies, without tactics, remain wishful thinking. That is why I cherish the art of developing practical tactics that are accomplished through seamless execution.

With over two decades of experience under my belt, I am a highly dynamic and skilled product manager, consolidating my professional expertise and technical acumen to tackle any challenge.

Recently, I’ve taken a keen interest in Generative AI and how its application could benefit our customers in the domain of tax filing. As this technology is relatively new, I, along with my colleagues, have refined our best practices by using a trial-and-error approach. I desire to share this knowledge and best practices with others in the community, while also keen on learning from thought leaders in the industry during this upcoming conference.
