Mind the Product

OCTOBER 13, 2016

Product Management as a role has moved on in leaps and bounds during my career. As the number of people gathered at Mind the Product London 2016 prove – it’s a skill and a job that more and more companies understand, appreciate, and seek out. And the job itself has evolved – from traffic managing releases, through a dark period of just writing agile stories, to a more enlightened and collaborative role that brings together the best of user experience, business, and technology.

Perhaps its time to cut the middleman out of selling your products Image Credit: TruckPR. How does a customer get their hands on your product?
