- Difference: Projects are finite (at least they're supposed to be :)
- Products: The end isn't always clearly defined
- Is Waterfall methodology still is use? Yes. (unfortunately)
- Product management is a bridge between the customers and development team
- Product Management overlaps with Customer Development
- Projects: Divide them up by features / user stories
- Time-boxing: Pick a fixed date
- Product management is about making decisions
- What do you do in the later phases when your product is launched?
- Sometimes need to go back and do a full adjustment
- Often when you release people don't use it the way you expect
- Difference between strategy and tactics: long term goals with iterations as a tactic
- Helpful: The ability to turn feautures on and off for individual users/groups
- eg: Google, Facebook, Big Bang (Woople)
- Sometimes discussing features takes longer than just implmenting it and getting immediate feedback
- How does technology affect product development? (ie. mobile, tablets, etc.)
- The technology decision should come from product management / customer development
Great seeing everyone, and looking forward to next Tuesday's session with Ali from Well.ca.
Thanks for posting, appreciated.
