Companies—particularly large companies—have complex portfolios and teams, and with them come a huge range of challenges. This talk explores why it's more important than ever to nurture a strong innovation culture. We uncover the formula for strong innovation culture, and the elements within, what an innovation culture looks like in the day-to-day, and how to make space for it in your own organization. You'll see by the end of this talk why innovation involves the whole team, and how the team can be involved, and how practical tools like roadmapping and OKRs can provide the alignment and autonomy your team needs to power a healthy culture of innovation.]]>

Find out how making this one small change at your company can completely shift the way you communicate with your customers for the better. In this webinar, ProdPad co-founder Janna Bastow will talk about how companies have successfully gone public with their product roadmaps - and share exactly what steps you’ll need to take to launch yours. You’ll see two dramatic changes when you open the door to your product roadmap to your customers: - Your customers will know your product vision and your priorities as a company - Your support team will be able to confidently take customer feedback and answer questions about feature requests. Even among companies that claim to be committed to transparency, product roadmaps have generally been shrouded in secrecy - the result of a fear of backing out on commitments or missing release dates. The reality is that companies that share their roadmaps are able to set practical expectations with their customers, communicate priorities and the future of their products clearly and retain their strongest customers.]]>

Essentials of Product Management /slideshow/essentials-of-product-management-22477334/22477334 essentialsofproductmanagement-130605030236-phpapp02
ºÝºÝߣs from the 'Essentials of Product Management' workshop at General Assembly in London, June 2013 ABOUT THIS WORKSHOP The first step in making an idea reality is to understand product management. There is a huge amount of work between the idea stage and the coding stage, and this Saturday workshop will help you understand what needs to be accomplished. We will start the day off by learning what the product management role encompasses and what the managing process is like. We'll also cover a product's feasibility and the various stages of—and ways to approach—the product development process. Through group work and hands-on practice, we'll look at the MVP (Minimum Viable Product) philosophy to test and validate your plans, and move on to identify the other more technical tools needed to start and evaluate the building process. TAKEAWAYS Part 1: The Product Manager role & the Product Management Process Part 2: The Customer and MVP - Learn to break an idea into its primary parts to assess product feasibility - Explain the purpose and process of building an MVP - Identify various ways to build and learn from an MVP - Evolve an MVP to reach product/market fit - Determine if product/market fit has been achieved for a product Some slide content courtesy of Simon Cast, John Eikenberry, and General Assembly]]>
