Product Ethics in the Age of AI

Roman"s Product Management Podcast ·

2026/10/05

AI is changing not only what product teams can build, but also what they need to take responsibility for. As digital products increasingly affect privacy, safety, fairness, human agency, and the environment, product ethics can no longer be an afterthought, a checklist exercise carried out just before the product is shipped. Instead, ethicality should be a core product success factor that is as important as desirability, feasibility, and viability. In this episode, I explain how you can make

Roman"s Product Management Podcast ·

2026/09/15

In theory, every product should create real value for a group of people and the business. But in practice, that’s not always the case. Worse, it can be tricky to understand if and to what extent a product does achieve the desired business impact and help the company move forward. With AI causing an upsurge in new digital assets, it’s more important than ever to successfully connect products and business strategy and make smart investment decisions. This episode explains how to do it.

Roman"s Product Management Podcast ·

2026/08/17

Over the past few years, many product teams have built AI fluency and started to apply AI to their work and products. That's great, but it is not enough to fully leverage AI in product management. Without the right product operating model in place, AI delivers only limited benefits. In this episode, I explain why this is and how you can create an effective product management approach that is optimised for AI.

“If you are working on something exciting that you really care about, you don’t have to be pushed. The vision pulls you,” Steve Jobs once said.

The Product Strategy Framework: A Revised Guide for...

Roman"s Product Management Podcast ·

2026/05/11

One of the biggest mistakes I see product managers make is making decisions in isolation: Deciding on strategy without considering how it impacts product discovery and delivery, or determining UX and features without letting strategy guide those choices. Great products, however, aren’t built by separating strategy from execution. They’re created by connecting them. That’s exactly why I developed my product strategy model—a simple but powerful way to link product vision, strategy, roadmap, and

2026/04/15

Is it a good thing when product managers are hands-on and use AI to build prototypes and generate code? Will it increase productivity and job satisfaction? Will it deliver better products faster? Or will it result in poorly designed applications full of technical debt that nobody wants and needs?

Get the Outcomes on Your Product Roadmap Right

Roman"s Product Management Podcast ·

2026/03/09

Product outcomes define the specific value a product creates—for users, customers, and the business. When applied correctly, they align stakeholders, create focus, and give development teams clear direction. But getting them right isn’t easy. Too often, product teams choose outcomes that are vague, oversized, or worse, features dressed up as goals. The result? Confusion, misalignment, and roadmaps that look strategic but fail to drive meaningful impact. In this podcast episode, I’ll address these

How to Build a Strategy for an Existing Product

Roman"s Product Management Podcast ·

2026/01/12

Every product has a strategy. But not all product strategies are clearly articulated, let alone communicated and understood. This can lead to confusion and misalignment: Different people have different ideas about what the actual strategy is and disagree on which features should be implemented. But it doesn’t have to be this way. In this episode, I describe a clear, five-step process that helps you build an effective strategy for an existing product and create clarity and alignment.

Roman"s Product Management Podcast ·

Product teams play a key role in solving user problems and achieving product success. But who should lead the team and manage its work? The Head of Product, the product manager, or someone else?

Roman"s Product Management Podcast ·

2025/11/03

AI has significantly impacted product management. But so far, most product teams have used it to create new features and discover and deliver products faster. While helpful, this approach overlooks the area that most determines product success: strategy. In this episode, I’ll explain how to move beyond execution and use AI as a strategic partner—helping you create a product strategy that achieves lasting success.
