Yesterday was Day 2 of Technology Services World in San Diego. If I am counting correctly, this is my 21 st TSIA conference, and it is really incredible to see how the events have grown over the years. Yesterday, I hosted the Social Track, and participated in six sessions. It was a crazy day, but a lot of great discussions. Here are some common threads from the social sessions, as well as a list of the top attended sessions of Day 2.

A Successful Start I learned about Minimum Viable Products like 99% of other Product Managers - through The Lean Startup by Eric Ries. When I happened upon the book and Eric’s method, I thought, “YES! This is what I’ve been searching for. This makes so much sense.” Testing products before you build them? What a novel idea! I was excited. I was energized!

Exactly a year ago I was invited to give a keynote at the Craft Conference in Budapest and I discussed the 10 biggest reasons why product teams fail. You can watch that talk here , or read the narrative article here.

We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this.
