What’s new from Coach Pri?

Time flies when you are having fun! We are nearing the end of the PM Level-Up Program, and next week is WEEK 10 - our last week of the program 😍 Dig in below for what we covered during our AI-ML PM Interview Prep Week!

Something I’m really proud of over the last several weeks is putting together (with sweat and blood, lol 😅) a full digital course in Kajabi, along with videos that accompany each topic and lesson, teaching you not just frameworks but also how to apply them in real-life PM scenarios & in interviews! (Screenshot above shows a glimpse of the course content, ask me if you’d like a more in-depth preview!)

🎉 Certifications & Badges are coming!: I’m exploring working with Credly to get my programs certified - this might include micro-certifications or badges for specific PM areas such as ‘Product Strategy’, or a certificate you may get for successfully completing the full PM Level-Up Program! Credly does an in-depth review of my program curriculum, business and other areas, which gives your current or future employers the assurance that a badge or certificate from Credly means something, and is valuable!

🚀 PM Level-Up Group Program - 6 spots remaining!: We are in WEEK 9 of the PM Level-Up Program, focusing on a new but very important topic - AI-ML PM Interview Prep! See the interview tips section below for my full framework on Product Design/Sense questions specific to AI or ML based products.

Product Management News & Industry Trends

So much is happening in the world of tech that we need to be aware of as Product Leaders! Here are some updates from the past few weeks that might impact you:

Defense Tech Goes Silicon Valley Style
Startups like Skydio are shaking up military tech by using AI-driven, agile solutions that challenge old-school defense contractors.
PM Takeaway: In defense or similar sectors? Embrace agility and explore how AI can make your products faster and more adaptive.

The Safety vs Agility Trade-Off?
Big players like OpenAI, Google, and Meta are speeding up AI development, sometimes skipping over safety protocols. The drive to innovate is real, but it’s raising questions about potential risks.
PM Takeaway: Advocate for ethical AI practices within your team. Innovation is great – but not at the cost of safety and trust.

Samsung’s XR Headset
Samsung’s teaming up with Google and Qualcomm to build an XR headset, taking on Apple and Meta. They’re focusing on AI-enhanced immersive experiences.
PM Takeaway: XR tech is gaining momentum – consider how it might fit into your product strategy.

Semiconductor Investments and Shifts
TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company) is the world's largest semiconductor foundry that makes chips for Apple, Nvidia, Qualcomm & other large tech companies. Their $165 billion investment in the U.S. semiconductor industry, alongside China's development of indigenous chipmaking tools reflect significant shifts in global tech infrastructure & their move towards technological independence.
PM Takeaway: PMs should monitor global supply chain dynamics and consider how semiconductor developments may impact product timelines and technological capabilities.
