Being a product manager in an enterprise context is different. Those who can break down complex work into clear steps will dominate the agentic AI era, while those who insist their work is too nuanced to deconstruct will struggle.

Work breakdown is core to product thinking. AI amplifies PMs who understand process decomposition but renders helpless those who see their methods as uniquely brilliant. When directing AI agents, identifying which steps can be automated becomes your competitive advantage.

Enterprise PMs who can decompose workflows, augment their capabilities, and free up strategic time will thrive; those who can't will fall behind.
