AI is showing up in nearly every tool we use, but for product managers, it’s not always clear where it actually helps versus where it just gets in the way. Join us for our next Lean BYTES where Staff Product Manager, Jodi Jones, will walk through specific ways she’s using AI to get things done faster — from drafting stories to pulling together research and stakeholder communication.
