PRODUCT MANAGEMENT OVERVIEW |
| Product Management includes two areas, in chronological order: product management (product lifecycle), and product marketing (sales support). Small companies combine these functions; larger companies leverage them independently for optimal results.
Product Management – A High-Level Overview
A key requirement for any product- or service-producing company is a proper product management process, usually referred to as a product lifecycle or PLC. A properly designed PLC has a gating process at each phase of that lifecycle. This is also known as a checkpoint process. |
|
| PHASE ONE - CONCEPT: FEASIBILITY GO/NO GO |
- Technical feasibility
- Fit for the Company Mission/Vision and Strategic Roadmap
- Financial viability in the marketplace
|
| PHASE TWO - DESIGN |
- Marketing Requirements Document (MRD) – outlines the market need and product fit to that need
- Product Requirements Document (PRD) – this typically follows an MRD; provides a blueprint for specific product features (this can also be done in a Functional Spec)
|
| PHASE THREE - DEVELOP: PRODUCT PROTOTYPE |
- Traditional product development process or Agile (Scrum)
- Assistance with the beta process
|
| PHASE FOUR - LUANCH: GO/NO GO FOR ALL ASPECTS |

| Customer Testimonials ...don't take our word for it. |
| "Tom is a great co-worker. He is bright, hard-working, and extremely helpful. He is very passionate about his job and takes pride in being the subject matter expert at it. Tom is extremely ethical and dependable. If he tells you he is going to do something you can take it to the bank that it will get done. Tom’s dry sense of humor was always a bright spot in my day. In short, Tom is great to work with and I highly recommend him!" |
