The PM leader's new job: Coaching teams when the tooling changes every quarter
The tools PMs use are changing faster than most leaders can build a playbook around. That makes coaching harder: the habits a leader learned as an individual contributor may no longer be the right ones to teach.
This talk is about the leadership job itself: what to coach for when the craft is in flux, how to set standards without freezing the team's ways of working, and how to keep judgment at the center as AI tools take on more of the drafting, analysis, and synthesis.
Key takeaways:
- What stays constant in PM craft, and what leaders should stop coaching
- How to set team standards that survive frequent tooling changes
- A practical approach to coaching judgment rather than process
- How to spot when a team is adopting tools for the wrong reasons
