May 17, 2012 from 6:30pm to 8:30pm
Product Managers have a crazy array of tools in their kits; it’s part of what makes you who you are. Stakeholder Analysis is one of those tools. You can learn the basic concept and do an adequate job of getting incremental value from it quickly, OR you could take it to a place that will change your world. I’m not even being dramatic. I’m serious. It will make a difference. Let’s talk about it.Register at …See More

April 19, 2012 from 6:30pm to 8:30pm
The digital age has made life better for consumers and tougher for makers and sellers. Those who make their living in product management know that the old way of doing things isn’t working well, and there isn’t a clear sense of what to do next. What sort of frameworks are useful for embracing this new fluid reality, and how can they be deployed in a robust and replicable way?Register at …See More

Matt Gamboa said… Thanks Scott. Yes, that's what I'm here for. I'm really wanting to transition to the role, and so I'm trying to find out everything I can on how to get there. So, since you mentioned you're from a development background, how'd you make the jump?

Sid Wray said… Hi Scott,
Thanks! I do work with Peter, though in different groups (he's in marketing/sales analytics, and I work in BI). I hadn't heard about the Consortium prior to a friend forwarding the invite. I'm hoping to make it out next Thursday if possible.
Regards!

Please use this community to connect, share, participate, and learn.
As a member of the PMC Advisory Board, I would love your feedback on how we could better meet your needs.
Also, it would be great if you would upload a profile photo. When our members have faces, they seem more like members of a community and less like static lifeless web pages.
Thank you!
