What you'll learn

Learn why the old PM spec doesn't translate to AI agents

What changed about the spec and how the gap looks like in your org

Understand why Spec Engineering is a PM skill

The industry named the highest-leverage skill in AI development "specification engineering." Learn how to claim it.

Live demo: building a structured spec vs typical vibe-coding

Take home a structured spec template using a Working Backwards approach that you apply in your next spec engg exercise

Why this topic matters

Vibe-coding is over-simplified: prompt, build, ship. AI agents take everything literally and make decisions you can't foresee. The PM who can clearly define what gets built by the agent before anyone touches the IDE becomes the person engineers trust. This session shows you how. You don't need a spec-writing background. You just need to know what good looks like for your customer.
