So, the MN Product Camp happening this weekend has kept me a bit more than occupied. Unfortunately this means I haven’t been able to post articles that have formed in my mind, but not found their way to the keyboard.
So, I simply updated my “rules” page. This is a tab on my site here where I will [...]

A holiday gift to my colleagues in product management and product marketing…

Inevitability, no matter how good a product manager you are and despite the best attention to gathering requirements and scoping out the release plans, you will run into a challenge.
