I Read a Survey That Predicted My Job's Next 2 Years - Here's What It Got Right and Missed

Short summary

A PM shares lived experience running agent-driven workflows against a KPMG survey where 39% of executives expect AI agents to lead PM teams within 2-3 years. The role shift is real and already underway: from writing artifacts to directing and reviewing them, while dev teams face longer spec review cycles when PMs iterate agent-drafted briefs. The practical metric isn't the forecast—it's tracking each month which tasks move from 'only you do this' to 'automated or delegated'.
