How Vibe Coding can Transform Project Management

As I’ve observed how AI is transforming both my clients’ and my own way of working, I’ve recently spent time exploring the topic of Vibe Coding.

From the perspective of someone who manages projects and helps clients bring their ideas to life, ignoring Vibe coding would be a mistake. Of course, this method has its pros and cons, but let’s be honest – if something can improve and speed up certain processes for my work, I’m all for it😏.

Since the best way to learn is by doing, I created a few simple apps using Vibe Coding. My goal wasn’t to launch the next unicorn start-up🚀, but to better understand what Vibe coding is, get familiar with the tools (I used Cursor), and see how this new way of working could support me in my daily tasks as a PM.

Here are some things that helped me work with Vibe Coding more smoothly and effectively:

Planning matters

I’ve spent more time defining project requirements and writing a plan than actually building it. But honestly? Totally worth it. Having a clear vision made the whole process smoother, and it helped me know exactly where I was headed.

Be careful with scope

Since Vibe Coding makes creating things so simple, it’s easy to fall into the rabbit hole of adding more and more.

Prompting matters

The clearer and more precise your prompt is, the smoother the process will be, and it helps you save tokens.

Fast feedback loop

One of the best things about Vibe Coding is how fast you can show a working draft to others. In just hours, you can bring an idea to life and get feedback.

Security isn’t optional

My current apps are just for learning. In real projects, you need to plan for it from the start.

Testing

Don’t skip it! Frequent testing helped me catch issues early and see where my prompts still needed improvement.

AI Assistant support

Ok, errors happened, my AI assistant was there to guide me through fixes( a great example of human + AI collaboration 😊).

Version Control

Using GitHub and committing regularly made it easy to roll back to a working version whenever I broke something 🙃

💡 Takeaway

➡️ Client wants to see an idea? Show them in hours, not weeks.
➡️ Need to test a concept? Build it, don’t just talk about it.
➡️ Requirements change? (They always do) No problem – pivot fast.

Vibe Coding has shown me that embracing new tools and workflows doesn’t just speed things up – it also opens the door to smarter collaboration, faster learning, and more creative ways to bring ideas to life.
