The Builder PM

The Builder PM sounds like a promotion. One person doing product, UX, and dev. Faster validation, less PRD theater, prototypes instead of paperwork. And then reality kicks in: three jobs, one salary, and a strategy that stops happening because execution ate the calendar. AI is changing how PMs work. The fight is over how much.

Rina Alexin and Cynthia Petti get into the lived experience, the trade-offs, and what the best PMs are protecting right now.

What You’ll Learn:  

• Why engineering velocity going up makes discovery and prioritization harder, not easier
• The real cost of role compression and what gets lost when execution becomes the whole job
• Why POC is replacing the PRD, and what that means for how you justify and sequence your work
• What separates a Builder PM who creates leverage from one who just has a fuller to-do list
