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.
