Here are my five main predictions for product managers to watch in 2024
AI and ML integration: It’s not hard to predict that the integration of AI and ML into products and product management processes will accelerate.
Product-Led Growth: Companies will increasingly use their products to drive growth, focusing on efficiency and reducing sales cycles.
Data-driven decision-making: Using analytics and predictive analytics to inform decisions and forecast market trends and user behaviour will become even more critical.
Specialist PMs: There will be a higher demand for PMs with specialized expertise, particularly in advanced technologies like AI.
Ethical considerations and inclusive designs: Products will be more inclusive to attract a broader customer base.
