In this session we'll get to the root of what we share in common and what sets us apart. Do you manage a software product or a hardware product? Are you hands-on or high-level? Do you truly own your product's P&L?<br><br>What can we learn from this? Perhaps you want to make the jump from hardware to software or vice versa. Or maybe you're considering transferring into a product management role from something else. This discussion will culminate in an understanding of the fundamental transferable skills across all PMs and those that are limited to certain situations. Come prepared to discuss your current/past PM experience and general thoughts.<br/><br/>foreslået af: Derek BlumDerek Blumhttps://productcamppdx.userecho.com/users/49-derek-blum/topics/tag:productcamppdx.userecho.com,2014-04-09:/communities/1/topics/9-getting-the-most-from-customer-insights-trends-in-shaping-a-strategy/2014-04-09T16:24:08+00:002014-04-09T16:24:08+00:00Getting the Most from Customer Insights & Trends in Shaping a Strategy [idéer] Insights about users and customer trends often are used to design and refine a product, but less often to shape the initial strategy, where such information can make the most difference.

[idéer] What skills and best practices define the few who perform at the top of this profession? For these superstars, we’ll identify what things they do differently and how they do things differently. Our goal is for everyone to leave with a couple of ideas on how they can raise the level of their own performance.

[idéer] How do you get the right stuff built at the right time, and how much rigor do you put into this part of the planning process?<br><br>Story Points are for the devs, Business Value is for the Product Owners. Or so the theology goes. If there's truth there, how do you capture BV in the backlog - and how do you actually use it during Sprint Planning? I can start off the discussion by reviewing a quantitative-ish approach I've been using in out planning, and I'd love to hear how others are doing this with less or more rigor.<br/><br/>foreslået af: Mike LonerganMike Lonerganhttps://productcamppdx.userecho.com/users/46-mike-lonergan/topics/tag:productcamppdx.userecho.com,2014-04-04:/communities/1/topics/3-growth-hacker-marketing/2014-04-04T17:42:36+00:002014-04-04T17:42:36+00:00Growth Hacker Marketing [idéer] Growth Hacker Marketing tactics are commonly used by SaaS companies to seed their market and drive hyper growth.

They had a promising future, even gave birth to healthy offspring. Now, they’re no longer really alive, but they're not really dead either. Worse, they have turned on you and they want to killyou.

(I don't think so.) Agile/scrum product owner training focuses on sprint-level execution and user stories; proudct managers have a much wider charter.
