AI Product Managers Will Be In-Demand
June 17, 2025
Many companies have an Engineer:PM ratio of, say, 6:1. (The ratio varies widely by company and industry, and anywhere from 4:1 to 10:1 is typical.) As coding becomes more efficient, I think teams will need more product management work (as well as design work) as a fraction of the total workforce. Perhaps engineers will step in to do some of this work, but if it remains the purview of specialized Product Managers, then the demand for these roles will grow.
We’ve published quite a lot on the impact of LLMs on software engineering–but what about product management? Andrew Ng sees the potential for an increase in the demand for PM skills relatively. But what does the AI era PM look like?
