Product Management in the Education Marketplace (Higher Ed. & K-12)
This roundtable will explore some of the unique challenges faced by Managers of products targeting the K-12 and Higher Education markets. Suggested issues for discussion (among others) include:
- Requirements Gathering: Who represents the most import constituencies? Faculty? Administrators? Other key influencers?
- How important is it for the Product Manager to be a subject matter expert in the product's target field? For example, Accounting: Can you teach an accountant to be a PM or is it better to teach a PM the accounting arena?
- What will be the true impact of the Obama administration's emphasis on improvement of education? Where are the opportunities for Education Technology developers?

The X-Rest
From Concept to Market in Six Months—On a Tight Budget Join us as we take a visual tour through the development process for the X-Rest, a Montie Design product. Just one year ago, we envisioned a line of simple products that would solve simple needs well. These products highlight our firm's design process and its core capabilities, and their development serves as a learning laboratory that tightens our process and strengthens these capabilities for future applications for external clients and their product development needs. The X-Rest is a product that is elegant in its simplicity. Today, we share the process we used to take the X-Rest from concept to market, seeking to provide you with new tools and new understanding of how companies launch new products into the marketplace.
