it's a way of life. I'm very excited to have an
Management Expert, spoke at opportunity to address the Global Product
the weekly Global Product Management community on the topic of using

INTRO
Let's put some meat behind this year's New Year's Resolutions! Hope is not a strategy. Can we apply product
management principles towards building professionals? The Seven Pillars of Product Management are generally
referenced as Market sizing, Gathering customer feedback, Prioritizing R&D investments, Writing market and
product requirements, Ranking features, Defining roadmaps, and Building launch plans. The Seven Pillars have
multiple functions, they are used as a Knowledge Management System, a System Performance Model, and
Deployment Methodology. In this talk we will discuss how the Seven Pillars can be used to make each one of us
more competitive as a product of our own product management.
Each week, The Global Product Management Talk features an expert guest speaker who asks questions of
the participants on Twitter in a Socratic discussion. The speaker and co-hosts broadcast their comments
over BlogTalkRadio. The transcript of Tweets and podcast are available after the live event.
Podcast: http://bit.ly/wfEPOr

QUESTIONS FOR DISCUSSION
Q1 How are we like products, and who is your product manager?
Q2 How do we all conduct market sensing about our selves?
Q3 How do we devine our own market problems?
Q4 How do we identify and transform market opportunities into business opportunities?
Q5 How do we derive new personal features from the problem statement and opportunity definition?
Q6 How do we create personal development roadmaps?
Q7 How do we create our personal development requirements?
Q8 Of course, how do we create and manage new launches of ourselves?

cindyfsolomon features = talents, skills, unique contributions/characteristics.... #prodmgmttalk -4:39 PM Jan 9th, 2012
