Andrew Ng's 'Four Ps' framework for managing AI-native engineering teams
DeepLearningAI · x · 2026-10-27
Andrew Ng's latest letter in The Batch lays out a Four Ps framework for leading AI-native engineering teams:
- People: support individual upskilling in AI Engineering, budget for experimentation; leaders should stay hands-on with coding agents — you can't learn to ride a bike by watching.
- Projects, Platforms, Processes make up the remaining pillars.
Core thesis: building is now fast, so choosing what to build is the bottleneck. The goal is a team designed around AI's strengths and its bottlenecks, not a traditional team that merely uses AI.
