Global Product Management Talk on Removing Silos between Product Management & Engineering with John Haniotis, Senior Vice President of Products at Accept
Transcript of Tweets from discussion. In today's economy most organization have strict budget constraints which limits the amount of resources that can be dedicated to new products and product enhancements. Add to this, the fact that most industries are increasingly competitive and companies that do not keep up and adapt to fast changes find themselves rapidly fading out of existence.

A product that resonates with the target market will exhibit strong growth soon after launch, while a product that doesn’t address the pain points of the target market is destined for mediocrity or outright failure.
“For many organizations, traditional product management and marketing practices can only take them so far. I love the conversational format of Global Product Management Talk to get new ideas out there because the dialogue is much more valuable than a one-way monologue that's typical of most web-based communications,” commented Mansour.
"This is the second time I'm speaking on the Global Product Management Talk. Its a great opportunity to connect in real time with the product management community on Twitter and I'm looking forward to the added component of the live broadcast to talk about one of the most vital aspects of building successful products," says Jeff.
Transcript of Tweets. There tends to be a lot of debate on the roles & responsibilities of the Project Manager vs. the Product Manager. In this twitter talk, we would like to gain a better understanding of how these roles can more effectively work together to bring to market high quality products.

“I have found that most product management organizations don't have a clear measure of their maturity and health, so in my session with the Global Product Management Talk, I hope to share some ideas that will help product management organizations establish a clear vision for their organization, assess their maturity against that and create a plan to grow and become more effective in delivering globally competitive products and services,” says Tom Evans.
Kelly says, "So often the good folks in Product Management work in isolation, plying their trade behind the firewall. Because Product Managers are multi-talented folks, we tend to learn from communities whose focus is UI/UX, Entrepreneurship, Programming or Engineering. Feeling at home in so many places, we forget to talk with each other. I love that the Global Product Management Talk exists so that we can form a community of our own."
Leon says, "I’m happy to be speaking at The Global Product Management Talk about requirements management since it is a challenge product managers confront in every organization, where ever they are located. Knowing what to invest in, how to invest in it and implementing the process with superior results, is the result of a great product management process."
Chris says, "When asked to address the Global Product Management Talk community, I thought, 'Great idea!' Every stage of the product lifecycle needs content. If content in one stage confuses management (or worse, customers), you've got extra problems. Luckily for all of us, the alternative is easy: Make sure your content is jargon-free & easy to understand. I'm happy to share my thoughts on how to do this!”
Lightning Talk #9: How UX and Data Storytelling Can Shape Policy by Mika Aldabaux singapore
How can we take UX and Data Storytelling out of the tech context and use them to change the way government behaves?
Showcasing the truth is the highest goal of data storytelling. Because the design of a chart can affect the interpretation of data in a major way, one must wield visual tools with care and deliberation. Using quantitative facts to evoke an emotional response is best achieved with the combination of UX and data storytelling.
Succession “Losers”: What Happens to Executives Passed Over for the CEO Job?
By David F. Larcker, Stephen A. Miles, and Brian Tayan
Stanford Closer Look Series
Overview:
Shareholders pay considerable attention to the choice of executive selected as the new CEO whenever a change in leadership takes place. However, without an inside look at the leading candidates to assume the CEO role, it is difficult for shareholders to tell whether the board has made the correct choice. In this Closer Look, we examine CEO succession events among the largest 100 companies over a ten-year period to determine what happens to the executives who were not selected (i.e., the “succession losers”) and how they perform relative to those who were selected (the “succession winners”).
We ask:
• Are the executives selected for the CEO role really better than those passed over?
• What are the implications for understanding the labor market for executive talent?
• Are differences in performance due to operating conditions or quality of available talent?
• Are boards better at identifying CEO talent than other research generally suggests?

We’re all trying to find that idea or spark that will turn a good project into a great project. Creativity plays a huge role in the outcome of our work. Harnessing the power of collaboration and open source, we can make great strides towards excellence. Not just for designers, this talk can be applicable to many different roles – even development. In this talk, Seasoned Creative Director Sara Cannon is going to share some secrets about creative methodology, collaboration, and the strong role that open source can play in our work.

Each technological age has been marked by a shift in how the industrial platform enables companies to rethink their business processes and create wealth. In the talk I argue that we are limiting our view of what this next industrial/digital age can offer because of how we read, measure and through that perceive the world (how we cherry pick data). Companies are locked in metrics and quantitative measures, data that can fit into a spreadsheet. And by that they see the digital transformation merely as an efficiency tool to the fossil fuel age. But we need to stretch further…

Joe says, "Figuring out ways to ship more product is a passion of mine. The problem spans technology, product, design, and people, which is what makes it so interesting. I'm excited to talk more about the colliding worlds of iterative development and product management with the community on Global Product Management Talk."
Joe Stump, CEO And Cofounder Of Sprint.ly, Discusses The Iterative Product Development Process, Automating Product Releases And Metrics
The software iterative development process enables every product iteration to result in at least one software release. Because of its collaborative, problem-solving character, iterative software development is similar to a multidisciplinary project or parallel development, which places a high demand on communication between the project team and project stakeholders, and among team members themselves. Also referred to as non-blocking development, this process aligns the entire business, from sales to software development, to ship more product more quickly.
Joe Stump, CEO And Cofounder Of Sprint.ly, will discuss the Iterative Product Development Process, Automating Product Releases And Metrics on Monday, January 7, 2013 at the simultaneous times of 10:00 AM Pacific Time, 11:00 AM MST Denver, 12 Noon CST Chicago, and 1:00 PM EST Boston.

IBM World of Watson: IoT Recipe JamboreeRyan Boyles
Think of this as a cross between a Startup Weekend, an unconference and a cooking channel reality TV show. IBM invited a group of 8 influencers to discuss what matters in IoT right now. IBM thinks the internet of things is meaningless if it does not turn data into insights to make the way we live and work a better experience. Let's explore what people are building, how they are doing it and where it is happening in labs, schools, start-ups, corporations and homes.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

A tale of scale & speed: How the US Navy is enabling software delivery from l...sonjaschweigert1
Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates

accept360 RT @JohnHaniotis1 agreeing on PMLC that's right for your group and how to measure success at each
milestone is a good start
ProdMgmtTalk A2: @JohnHaniotis1 "Just because I wrote an excellent PRD, I cannot complain that engineering
didn't deliver"
brainmates According to @JohnHaniotis - its no excuse to blame engineering when you write a good PRD and
enginerring does not deliver.#prodmgmttalk
ProdMgmtTalk A2 "If both parties (PM & Eng) are equal responsible & customer focused, must collaborate 4
successful results" @JohnHaniotis1
ProdMgmtTalk A2: "3 parties= PM, UserExp & Eng milestones= understand biz need b4 determine how to build"
@JohnHaniotis1
Macmyday A2 Managing thru influence: Have to be a lot more nimble in communications
paulalexgray A2: Direct reports offer scale/ability to deliver but may lack enough strategic view if it's not been
shared w. them
rcauvin A2: As @ptyoung would say, great #prodmgmt knows how to "speak truth to power"
nickcoster RT @JohnHaniotis1: #prodmgmttalk role of Mktg at key milestones in planning makes sense.It is a team

cindyfsolomon Acc to @johnhaniotis A3: PM represents face of customer, but PMs must walk in Eng shoes to gain
empathy from Eng
rcauvin RT @VFigatelix: A3: Eng. need to have freedom to deliver the "solution", PMs need to explain the WHAT Eng
will say HOW
Macmyday A3 Vision, goal, customer requirements, feedback
schmediad @brainmates agree. Too often do individuals start with the 'how' (solution) before understanding the
'why'
ErikaLAndersen RT @schmediad: @brainmates agree. Too often do individuals start with the how (solution) before
understanding the why
VFigatelix A3: Eng. need to have freedom to deliver the "solution", PMs need to explain the WHAT Eng will say HOW
nilsie: Often it's a joint learning exercise! A3: PMs need to explain the WHAT & WHY Eng will say HOW
SteveKoss A3 Expectations, milestones, moreover the two parties should be able to hold crucial conversations and
confrontations
ErikaLAndersen RT @brainmates: Acc to @johnhaniotis #prodmgmtrepresents customer but we also need empathy
engineering in articulating reqs
rcauvin @lmckeogh Very good point. #prodmgmt should "manage up" & across to remove impediments for
developers.

Macmyday @brainmates I also seem to be missing some of your tweets :( Twitter got the flu.
VFigatelix A3: also including Eng. as Experts to consult feasibility and complexity of implementation improves
engagement
brainmates Acc to @johnhaniotis Trust is important. Team wins only if they have absolute trust in each other
ErikaLAndersen Agree RT @VFigatelix: A3: including Eng. as Experts to consult feasibility/complexity of
implementation improves engagement
