Product Management in an Agile World - Webinar
February 10, 2008
This webinar discusses the role of Product Manager and Product Owner in an Agile team. In any organization, when software engineering transforms to an Agile methodology, big changes are in store for Product Managers. Quite often, even the role of the Product Manager becomes less clear. The planning process becomes a regular occurrence instead of a once-a-year event. The requirements process morphs from lots of documentation up front to continuous conversations and progressive elaboration.
All of these changes can wreak havoc on a Product Manager’s schedule and can blur the lines of responsibility beyond recognition.
In this webinar, we will discuss common challenges of Product Managers in an Agile software engineering environment.
During this 1 hour webinar, you will learn:
- How to recognize key Agile challenges for Product Managers and clarify their role in Agile teams.
- How to answer “What are you going to deliver, and when will it be ready?”
- Ideas on organization models and their fit to Agile.
- Tips on defining the right level of requirements, granularity and priority.
- How to adapt Agile Product Management to global distributed teams.
- Common pitfalls and how to avoid them.
