Training Software Product Management

Successful companies have understood: Success in the software and IT industry heavily depends on product management. The product manager is responsible for the business success of his product during its entire lifetime. He evaluates markets, positions ideas, defines and communicates a vision and leads teams with different expertise. He synchronizes the often conflicting needs of customers, markets, sales, development, service and quality management. His guiding principle and overarching mission is sustainable business success and customer value.

This seminar introduces and helps to shape the competencies and role of product manager. It has evolved from the introduction of product management in various companies world-wide. It summarizes key aspects and learning effects, and shows how the role is implemented in daily operations. Participants will become familiar with theory and practice and with the methods of modern product management. With examples and practical exercises they learn to select and use best techniques, processes and strategies for their own environment. Participants' own examples and questions will be discussed.
