This document discusses the roles of product manager and product owner in agile new product development. It argues that having a single person try to fulfill both roles can undermine the benefits of each. The product manager focuses on external stakeholders and the big picture, while the product owner is internally focused on the development team and details. Having separate individuals for each role enables both strategic vision and agile execution.
Top Ways Agile Adoption Fails, How to Avoid Them!Sally Elatta
This was a webinar I offered to discuss real world reasons behind Agile adoption failure and the success factors for avoiding them. You can watch the video of the webinar here:
Real World Effective/Agile Requirements - IBM Innovate 2010 -sally elattaSally Elatta
This is the presentation I offered at the IBM 2010 conference around real world techniques and best practices for effective requirements gathering and release planning. Enjoy!
Yes, both of them are buzz words, but when you peel back the buzz, what is the true value that lies behind both of these methods? How do they compare and how do they differ? Most importantly, how can we bring about Agility to SOA projects and how can better architecture be applied to Agile projects? Me and Kyle also discussed some of the challenges with attempting iterative development on SOA projects and provided some ways both can leverage each other's strengths.

Abusing the word "Reliability" was an annoying thing for me, it's not linked to submission date of a document nor the training programs, yes these procedure can help in undirect way to improve the reliability, but when you consider your reliability program sole on it, then you are not doing reliability anymore.
So i decided to express my anger in peaceful way and i hope it can be a postive too.
for that i'll start to write a post and i'll call it "Real Reliability" to bust the myth around reliability, and i'll start with my first enemy "MTBF".
This for all the fed up guys from the wrong usage of "Reliability"

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
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. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs
