In short

Rather than merely drafting notes, artificial intelligence is now being deployed to prepare decisions, conduct analyses, and track project milestones. Nubank Growth Lead Product Manager Cinthia Scarlatti presented this strategy at the PM3 Summit in Sao Paulo, urging professionals to become workflow architects. By clearly framing problems and mapping out dependencies, managers can reduce execution burdens on engineering departments. Ultimately, this approach removes operational bottlenecks across teams instead of simply refining individual prompt writing.

The more meaningful change begins when the question shifts from “how can AI help me write this?” to “which parts of my work still need to depend on someone else’s queue?” Once that question is on the table, AI stops being a writing assistant and starts becoming part of how decisions are prepared, how analyses are run and how a project keeps track of itself. In other words, the real shift…
