Product Management is broken, a change is coming

It started as a promising concept:

The Product Manager and the Engineering Manager team up. The Product Manager decides WHAT should be made, understanding the customers’ needs and talking to stakeholders. The engineers plan HOW to build these ideas, and then code without distractions from customers.

THIS JUST DOESN’T WORK!

For 2 reasons:
1. Engineers are not involved in the decisions
2. PMs don’t make the right decisions (and it's not their fault)

In the article I'm going to cover how I think the product/engineering world is going to change, the rise of Product Engineers, and what can engineering leaders do in the new world.
