Why agentic AI forces a 'reverse-waterfall' in product management

Amanda White is a senior product manager at Tanzu Labs in Boston. Her tech career was born out of the need for a website for her Paris-based band in the early aughts, which was realized as a Geocities site that Amanda coded by hand in Microsoft Notepad. (It had frames.) She went on to write a long-lived tech column for Classical Singer Magazine and eventually transitioned out of the music business via a Master’s degree in technical writing from Utah State University. Upon returning to the Boston area (where she had previously lived while earning her Bachelor’s degree in Opera from The Boston Conservatory), Amanda threw herself into the software industry through business analysis and personnel management in the medical, library information science, and hospitality industries. A resident of “Witch City” Salem, Mass., Amanda fronts a rock band, travels obsessively, and still sings the occasional opera in her spare time.

Two MVPs every product manager should know, and how to tell them apart

How to fix broken systems - Kate Tarling (CEO, The Service Group)

Dave is the founder of Confidence In, author of the Amazon bestseller The Product Momentum Gap, and creator of the CALM Leadership method, built specifically for product and engineering leaders who think differently. He's worked with leaders at GitLab, Adobe, Snyk, and over a hundred tech companies from Series A to enterprise, helping leaders earn strategic influence without burning out or pretending to be someone they're not.

His work is evidence-based, practically ruthless, and built for the real world, not the leadership textbook version of the world where everyone's aligned, puts the company first, is well-intentioned, and pays attention.
