<p><em>We’ve published a huge variety of posts on the Mind the Product blog this month &#8211; we’ve looked at responsible tech, how product management can help to prevent failure in startups, managing product teams during times of uncertainty, and much more besides. In case you’ve missed any of it, here’s the rundown on our most read posts in March.</em></p>

<h3>3 tips for product managers at companies learning how to do product</h3>
<p>Product leader <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/martarolak/?originalSubdomain=uk" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Marta Rolak</a>’s post looks at how teams can undergo product transformation within their own organisation. She says communication is key: you should “overcommunicate”, and  be patient. It takes time to win trust and for the message to get through. You should also just accept you’ll get many feature requests and just “deal with it”. Finally you should find allies within the business who can help you spread the word and promote the product function.</p>

<h3>The role of an AI product manager</h3>
<p>In this <a href="https://www.mindtheproduct.com/producttank/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ProductTank Tokyo</a> talk, <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/hiroki-nakamura/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hiroki Nakamura</a> examines how generative AI is transforming product management. Hiroki says that an AI product manager plays an important role in managing product quality, and says the essential elements of product management &#8211; user experience, business, and technology &#8211; should remain the same when using generative AI. He looks at why product management is harder with AI products and also provides some guidance and suggestions for successful outcomes.</p>

<h3>ProductTech: The industry, the discipline, have we gone too far?</h3>
<p>This post from product director <a href="https://uk.linkedin.com/in/beckyyelland" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Becky Yelland</a> asks if it’s time to stop the product management obsession with frameworks and methodologies. She asserts &#8211; with plenty of evidence &#8211; that they are over-complicating the work and alienating product teams from the rest of the business. Finally, she offers some suggestions for alternative ways of working so that product managers don’t feel bound to navigate the complex of ProductTech.</p>
