How a VP of product uses Claude without producing slop

Overview

Check out the conversation on Apple, Spotify and YouTube. Why most AI content misses the leadership tier (01:57) Aakash: I've been looking online at all of the content on AI for PMs and I noticed two really big gaps. The first is that most of the content is written for IC PM tasks.

Key Takeaways

  • How to write a PRD, how to conduct analysis on a feature.
  • Number two, how he runs metrics retrospectives with his peers.
  • I'd love to share how I'm learning to manage it well.

    The all-hands presentation story (04:06) Aakash: One of the stories you told me is that you had an all hands presentation to give to the company at 11am.

  • Not for everyone, but that's what I did.
  • It's a good running joke that I have that I terrorize people saying, I clicked enhance this slide for you.

How to write a PRD, how to conduct analysis on a feature. What if you elevate that from PRD to all hands presentation? What if you elevate that from analysis of a feature to metrics retrospective that you want to give to other C-suite leaders?

That's something all PMs have to deal with and especially product leaders have to deal with. So I brought in somebody who's willing to share the real stuff, not canned hypothetical conversations, but the actual documents that he presented to his peers. Matthew Wensing has been gracious enough to create unparalleled insight into how a real VP of product at a real hyper growth AI company uses AI.

So if you stay till the end of this episode, you'll get to learn three things. Number one, how he builds all hands in just a single morning. Number two, how he runs metrics retrospectives with his peers.
