I recently switched, but at my previous job, the PMs (who would typically do most of this work) got so overworked after AI took hold, that they’ve doubled the PM-to-dev ratios on all (the productive) teams.
I have read about this in other companies as well. Some teams in Google have a PM pr dev, I hear.
Where I work now, sh*t gets done MUCH quicker with AI, and to a higher quality as well.
IMO, if you work with software and can’t get a meaningful boost out of AI, I think you’re doing something wrong.
Many of these companies have no idea what to do to begin with, so improving dev throughput is not really the business problem to begin with (even though frequently blamed).
