Is product management maturing—or just masking its gaps?
As product teams grow in size and ambition, a new layer of support has taken hold: product coaches. But is this trend a sign of professional growth—or a red flag that our foundations aren’t strong enough?

In this TPG Live roundtable, we’ll examine the rise of product coaches and what it signals about the state of product management today. Are coaches helping PMs thrive, or compensating for unclear career paths, fragmented training, and inconsistent expectations? We’ll explore what this growing trend means for individuals, teams, and the future of the profession.

We’ll also explore what it takes to stay connected to real customer needs in a rapidly shifting world. Building a culture of continuous discovery isn’t just a best practice—it’s a survival strategy. Learn how top teams challenge assumptions, validate in real time, and use ongoing discovery to guide decisions and reduce risk.

How can product leaders strengthen team capabilities while staying in tune with evolving user needs?

This live session will feature practical insights and expert perspectives to help you navigate the changing realities of product work. Whether you're leading a team, working with a coach, or evolving your own discovery habits, you’ll leave with strategies to build stronger, smarter product organizations. Join us live, bring your questions, and be part of the conversation.
