Engineering¶
Welcome to the Engineering section of NextPM, where we document the complete journey of building this AI-native PM knowledge hub.
What You'll Find Here¶
This section showcases the intersection of product management and software development, demonstrating how AI tools enhance both disciplines when building in public.
Specifications¶
Product specifications and feature planning documents. Each entry links PM thinking with actual implementation, providing:
- Feature Specs - Complete product requirements and design decisions
- Visual Timeline - Animated progress tracking from draft to completion
- Related Changes - Links to actual code commits with git integration
- AI-Native - Built using Claude Code and spec-driven development
Implementation Summaries¶
Development commit summaries documenting each code change. These entries show:
- What Changed - Files modified and features added
- Why Changed - Key decisions and rationale
- How Built - Technical details and AI assistance used
- Related Specs - Links back to PM planning documents
The NextPM Approach¶
Building in Public¶
We document both the "what we plan" (Specifications) and "what we built" (Implementation Summaries), creating a complete narrative of the development process.
AI-Augmented Development¶
Every spec and commit summary includes details about AI tool usage, demonstrating real-world AI-augmented product development workflows.
Complete Traceability¶
Bidirectional links connect specs to commits, making it easy to:
- See all commits implementing a specific feature
- Trace any code change back to its originating spec
- Understand the evolution of features over time
Why This Matters¶
For Product Managers¶
- Learn by Example - See how specs translate to actual implementation
- Understand Dev - Bridge the PM/Dev gap with detailed commit summaries
- AI Workflows - Discover how AI tools accelerate product work
For Developers¶
- Context-Rich History - Every commit links back to business context
- Decision Trail - Understand why code was written a certain way
- AI Tools - See how tools like Claude Code and GitHub Copilot help
For Everyone¶
- Transparency - Complete visibility into how NextPM itself is built
- Case Studies - Real examples of AI-native development
- Best Practices - Patterns and approaches you can adapt
