State of Product 2026 - from Product Plan
60%.
That's the percentage of product teams not using AI at all who reported "no meaningful value yet" from AI. (page 77)
I know. Shocking. 😂
But stick with me. Because buried in this data from the State of Product Management 2026 report is something actually worth thinking about.
The teams who've made AI a core strategic capability? Zero percent reported no meaningful value. The teams using it across many workflows? 4.3%. The teams just experimenting? 21.8% still not seeing it.
In other words — you don't get the value until you're actually in it. Which sounds obvious. But I think a lot of product teams are still waiting to feel convinced before they commit. And the data says that's exactly backwards.
The strategic benefits — more time for actual strategy, better prioritization decisions, improved discovery quality — those don't show up early. They show up after you've moved past the experimentation phase and started weaving it into how you actually work.
What's your honest relationship with AI right now? Are you in it or still watching from the sidelines?
