“Marty Cagan on Product Management Theater in the Age of AI” from “Modern CTO” by pods4.me
June 4, 2026 · 48 min
Product managers are FORGETTING that they’re problem solvers.
Today, we're talking to Marty Cagan, product management author and founder of the Silicon Valley Product Group. We discuss why most tech companies are unknowingly running a model that almost guarantees shipping things that don't matter, how AI is simultaneously exposing and accelerating that problem, why the real bottleneck was never your engineers, and how large language models might finally solve the product coaching gap that's held back a generation of product people.
All of this right here, right now, on the Modern CTO Podcast!
