ICP is Everything
2025-12-17 11:30 - 13:00 (America/New_York)
If your ICP is fuzzy, everything you build wobbles. Learn how to sharpen it using real signals and AI.

Messaging to everyone converts no one. In this session, Toshi Jones breaks down why so many Ideal Customer Profiles across startups and the Fortune 500 are wrong, stale, or missing altogether, and why that is even more dangerous in an AI-driven world.An ICP is not a demographic, a persona, or a slide in a brand deck. It is a single, high-level statement about the customer who feels the most urgent, hair-on-fire version of the problem you solve. When that filter is weak or wrong, PRDs, personas, messaging, sales conversations, and roadmaps all drift off course.We will dig into:✨ The most common ICP mistakes: going too broad, confusing TAM with “who buys first,” centering who you wish you served instead of who you actually win with, and letting noisy non-buyers sway the roadmap✨ How to separate your ICP from personas and from the economic buyer, so you stop writing for the wrong decision-maker or relying on “friends of the board” for product direction✨ How to treat ICP as a living commercial decision, using AI and real market signals to adjust faster as usage patterns, customer pain, and competitive pressure shiftIf your “ICP” lives in a dusty brand book full of vague stats and vibes, this session will help you rethink it as the sharpest decision filter your product, marketing, and sales teams have.

Clinical Problem Statements in Industrial Software
2026-01-07 11:30 - 13:00
Stop solving symptoms. Learn how Grainger PMs use clinical problem statements and AI to diagnose the right problems.

The best product teams don’t just write requirements. They take ownership of problems. They diagnose what actually matters before they commit teams, time, and technology.
In this week’s Product Coffee meetup, we’re welcoming Cavelle Benjamin, Director of Product Management at Grainger, to share how Grainger’s product teams are changing the way they define and prioritize problems using clinical problem statements.
This approach helps teams move beyond vague requests and symptom chasing, creating shared clarity around root causes, tradeoffs, and what success really looks like before solutions enter the conversation.
Join us on Wednesday, January 7 for our first Product Coffee of 2026 and hear directly from Cavelle about:✅ What clinical problem statements are and how teams use them to create clearer, more actionable problem definitions✅ How Grainger PMs apply the OODA loop (Observe, Orient, Decide, Act) as an overarching framework for product development✅ How Cavelle is building and deploying AI agents to enforce discipline, maintain context, and help product teams work more consistently at scale

Cut the Drama: A Conversation with Janice and Jason Fraser
2026-02-04 11:30 - 13:00
Product drama is optional. The Frasers wrote the playbook to make it disappear.

Product management comes with plenty of drama. Stakeholder battles, priority whiplash, teams pulling in different directions. It doesn’t have to be this way.

Janice and Jason Fraser wrote Farther, Faster, and Far Less Drama to give product leaders a practical way out of the chaos. Their Four Leadership Motions framework helps teams align, move faster, and actually enjoy the work again.

Our Product Coffee book club just wrapped up reading it together, and now the Frasers are joining us for a conversation about putting these ideas into practice.

✅ How to spot the patterns that create drama before they spiral✅ Practical ways to apply the Four Leadership Motions in your day-to-day✅ Real talk on what it takes to lead teams through change without burning out

Whether you read along with us or just want to hear what the buzz is about, this is a chance to dig into the ideas with the folks who wrote the book.

This isn’t a webinar. It’s a global community meetup of product people who love bringing great innovations to market. Bring your questions, your war stories, and your coffee.

Join us for our community networking coffee chat at 11:30 AM ET. The main program begins at 12:00 PM ET!

Organizing on AI: It's About Behaviors
2026-02-11 07:30 - 09:00
The AI hype machine is exhausting. Here’s a mindset that actually helps you get things done.

Another LinkedIn post about the “top 10 AI tools every PM needs.” Another webinar that’s basically a product demo with a Q&A tacked on. Another breathless take about how AI is going to change everything.

Dean Peters has been doing this longer than most. Twenty years in product, fifteen in software engineering before that. He built the AI course at Productside. And his take is refreshingly direct: stop obsessing over tools. Start thinking about behaviors.

Here’s the idea. Discovery used to take Dean 3-4 weeks. Now it takes days. Not because he found some magic tool. Because he figured out how to organize around what AI actually enables.

That’s the session. Not a tool demo. Not a prompt library. A framework for thinking about AI that doesn’t require you to become an AI expert just to stay employable.

We’ll get into:– Why chasing tools is a great way to waste time (and maybe get fired)– What “organizing on AI” actually looks like in practice– The uncomfortable truth about what happens when all these free tools start charging real money– How to compress weeks of work into days without a PhD in machine learning

Sick of the hype? Want something you can actually use? This one’s for you.

Join us for our community networking coffee chat at 7:30 AM ET. The main program begins at 8:00 AM ET!

Money Stories with Rich Mironov
2026-02-25 07:30 - 09:00
Kicking off our next book club with the author himself. Get the inside track on speaking exec before you read.

Product managers talk about features. Executives talk about revenue. And somewhere in that gap, roadmap conversations fall apart.

Rich Mironov has spent 40 years bridging that divide. As the author of Money Stories (and the classic Art of Product Management), he’s helped product leaders at 200+ companies learn to speak the language their C-suite actually cares about. His core insight is simple but powerful: you can’t defend a roadmap with a backlog. You need to tell the money story behind it.

Rich is joining us to kick off our next Product Coffee Book Club read. He’ll introduce the key ideas from Money Stories, share what inspired him to write it, and give you a head start on the frameworks we’ll be exploring together as a community.

✅ Get a preview of the money story patterns that resonate with execs: upsell, retention, cost savings, and more

✅ Understand why process-focused roadmap pitches fail and what to say instead

✅ Hear directly from Rich what he hopes readers take away and how to get the most out of the book

Whether you’ve already grabbed a copy or you’re just hearing about it now, this is your chance to kick things off with the author himself.

👉 Grab your copy of Money Stories here: https://amzn.to/3OoD5QO

This isn’t a webinar. It’s a community conversation with product folks from around the world who love digging into the books that make us better at what we do.

Join us for our community networking coffee chat at 7:30 AM ET. The main program begins at 8:00 AM ET!

The "So What?" Pressure Test
2026-04-01 11:30 - 13:00
Let’s talk value creation. Do your roadmaps and priorities lists really add up to business, customer and market value? Prove it.

Most of the time, the work you’re doing is genuinely valuable. But when it’s time to articulate that impact, the “why” often gets buried under the “what.” Settling for “adequate slop” in your explanations makes it hard for stakeholders to see the real math behind your priorities. (see what I did there?)

This Wednesday, we’re shutting down the “product theater” and putting your communication to the test. This isn’t about second-guessing your effort: it’s about the grit it takes to bridge the gap between a “good feature” and a “real outcome.”

We’re running a live “So What?” pressure test. You bring a feature or a priority from your current list, and the community will help you strip away the jargon until the real math is unmistakable. It’s high-energy, zero-prep, and the best way to prep for your next high-stakes leadership pitch.

✅ Practice articulating your “features” as actual market value✅ Learn to sharpen the “why” in your own roadmap✅ Get live, honest feedback from a room full of product folks who have been there

Ok. I think we can retire our quotation marks for this week.

This isn’t a webinar. It’s a community conversation, not a presentation. Come ready to participate and prove the value.

The Missing Link in Product Discovery
2026-04-15 11:30 - 13:00
How do you know discovery insights connect to outcomes? April Dawn, PhD shares a smarter framework for the leap.

Product discovery can surface great insight, but it can still leave teams with an important question hanging in the air: how confidently do these insights connect to the outcome we actually care about?
In this session, our very own April Dawn, PhD, brings a research scientist’s rigor and a product manager’s practicality to one of the trickiest parts of discovery work: connecting what teams are learning to the business outcomes they’re trying to influence. She’ll share a practical framework for linking product changes, behavior shifts, and results, so teams can make a stronger case for what they’re seeing and what to do next.
We’ll dig into one of the biggest risks in discovery work: proving that something changed user behavior without knowing whether that behavior actually points to the outcome the business cares about. Along the way, April will introduce a few useful concepts and tools that can help product teams evaluate signals more clearly, make smarter bets, and bring more credibility to their discovery process, including a Chain of Evidence Brief teams can use before experiments begin.
If you’ve ever had a sense that your team was learning useful things but still struggling to turn that learning into confident product decisions, grab your coffee and join us.

The Hidden Work of Product Leadership
2026-04-22 07:30 - 09:00
What are PMs carrying that never makes the roadmap? Let’s unpack the coordination, translation, and friction nobody sees.

Some of the most important work in product leadership is the hardest to point to. It’s the prep before the prep. The conversations that prevent a blow-up. The coordination work nobody officially owns, but somehow still ends up on your plate.

The Hidden Work of Product Leadership is a conversation about the invisible load product leaders carry every day. We’ll explore where that work comes from, how it affects teams and decision-making, and how to tell the difference between necessary leadership work and dysfunction that’s quietly getting routed through product by default.

Join us for our community networking coffee chat at 7:30 AM ET. The main program begins at 8:00 AM ET!

The Human Cost of Real Product Work
2026-04-29 11:30 - 13:00
What does shipping at scale take out of you? A candid conversation about burnout, boundaries, and building a career that lasts.

We talk a lot about the hidden work it takes to keep teams aligned and products moving. We talk less about what that work costs the people carrying it, and even less about what to do when the cost gets too high.

The Human Cost of Real Product Work is a conversation about the personal side of invisible load: the mental burden, the emotional wear and tear, and the career tradeoffs that can build up slowly until they’re impossible to ignore. But we won’t stop at naming the problem. We’ll dig into what experienced product folks have learned to change, what they’ve stopped absorbing, and how to build a product career that is both meaningful and sustainable over time.

Join us for our community networking coffee chat at 11:30 AM ET. The main program begins at 12:00 PM ET!
