Product Companies Need Product Managers, not Product Owners (webinar)

A webinar hosted by Pragmatic Marketing
What: “Product Companies need Product Managers, not Product Owners”
Who: Rich Mironov, CMO, Enthiosys as part of a joint Pragmatic/Enthiosys webinar series on Agile Product Management
When: Friday, October 24th, 2008

Product Managers are responsible for the overall market success of their products, not just delivery of software. In the Agile world, a new title is emerging—the Product Owner—which covers a small subset of the Product Management role. While this makes sense for internal IT groups that have traditionally gone without Product Management, Rich Mironov will talk about how Agile product companies (that need to deliver customer revenue with their offerings) need full-fledged Product Managers to drive strategic activities and manage organizational/external participation. What kinds of market failures can we expect when there’s (only) a Product Owner assigned to revenue-producing projects?
