As this report from McKinsey outlines, the use of AI is greatly increasing productivity in engineering. "Gen AI has improved product manager (PM) productivity by 40 percent, while halving the time it takes to document and code. At IBM Software, for example, developers using gen AI saw 30 to 40 percent jumps in productivity." As a result, new types of skills will become more important: better code review skills, integrating different systems, and "higher-value 'upstream skills' such as writing user stories, developing code frameworks (for instance, code libraries, support programs), understanding business outcomes, and anticipating user intent." There are additional new skills listed for product managers and leadership.
