| Do You Really Have a Strategy for your Product? |
Product management leaders are responsible for achieving financial and market success for their products. Having a relevant, clear, measurable strategy is vital to achieve this success. However, there are some issues. Very often, important data is missing and strategies are formulated without facts and data. Furthermore, many organizations rely on the product roadmap as the primary strategic plan. These issues, and others can leave your product vulnerable to the competition. Steven Haines, the author of “The Product Manager’s Desk Reference” will facilitate an engaging, interactive discussion to equip you with the tools you’ll need to adopt a more holistic approach to strategic planning for product managers. |
