"Appreciate the consistency - as I recall, it used to be consistently Wednesday, which aided planning.  Would suggest always keeping it the third week of the month, or something similar.   You may find that Thursdays is better in general…"

Thanks, Jon.

Thanks for the recommendation!  I'll contact ProductCamp Chicago and get involved - thanks Jon!

Hi Jon - thanks for the message.  Won't be in Seattle, but will be looking to attend an upcoming event.  Joined PMC to expand my BOK with all the interesting PM strategy topics and discussion, and contribute when applicable. My background is in SaaS ecommerce PM, and I'm Chicago-based and looking to start a PM group locally.  If there are Chicago area groups that you would suggest, I'd love to know about them.

Thanks for the welcome!  Looking forward to contributing to the group!

Hi Jon. Thanks for the message. I joined the group to network with other PMs and attend events in my local area.

It's very nice to meet you and thanks for the welcome message.

So much to learn from so many PM's.

Hi Jon! 

The reasons are on several levels.  Primarily, the company I just joined for is primed for growth, but it has no PM strategy.  The work has been done by whoever can pick it up.  Having come from two large companies, in my past, I am working on developing an NPI strategy that is not only process, but also portfolio management based.  Interfacing with others for best practices, methods, trends, and tools will be critical fr our growth and long-term success.  I am THRILLED to find out about PMC as I believe it will help us with this critical path in our evolution.

 

Thanks for the welcome!  I look forward to meeting with the group.

Hi Jon, thanks for the message. I certainly will be there next week. I look forward to meeting you there!

Hi Jon.  A coworker suggested I join the group.   I am looking for opportunities to network with other product managers and attend local events is very appealing  to me.

At 9:50am on December 26, 2012, Ari Ganguly said…

No I have not, but would love to.

At 9:21am on December 26, 2012, Ari Ganguly said…

Hi Jon,

Product development is a complex beast and the more I read/listen, the more I imbibe.

Though I am in NYC and wont be able to attend the Seattle meet-ups, the constant flow of information from a targeted source is very informative.

Ari
