100% of product professionals are using AI. Zero percent said they don't use it at all.
Let that sink in—then consider this: more than a third have absolutely no governance in place.
ProductBoard partnered with User Evidence to survey 379 product professionals across healthcare, finance, SaaS, and more. The findings reveal a massive gap between AI adoption and AI strategy.
In this episode, Ross Webb sits down with Jaselin Drown, Content Marketing Manager at ProductBoard, to unpack what the data actually means for product teams—and why Product Ops professionals have a huge opportunity right now.
Key findings discussed:
→ 96% of product teams use AI consistently
→ 94% of individuals use it daily or often
→ 89% use at least two AI models
→ Only 40% measure ROI in actual business metrics
→ When Product Ops owns tooling decisions, 69% have documented AI policies
If you're in Product Ops or Product Leadership, this is required listening.
