Where I live the temperatures are hitting the high teens and 20s (that's Celsius of course), the flowers are in bloom and the days are getting longer. This can only mean that spring is at last here in earnest - and summer is mere weeks away. With the renewed sense of joy that comes from once again being able to walk around in shorts and sandals I offer some levity this week.

You know, to me nothing says "lighten up, spring is finally here" like haiku poetry. With this in mind I offer up a smattering of Product Management haikus below. I encourage you to add your own contributions as comments. Haiku creation is quite therapeutic I assure you. Can't you just feel the tension leaving your body?...

Nothing important
Happens inside the office
Talk to customers

Gather Requirements
Filter possibilities
Create MRD

So many inputs
Spreadsheets driving me crazy
Must get FeaturePlan

Product management
Still not getting much respect
As a discipline

Customers, prospects
And evaluators too
Must listen to them

For long term success
Just focus on becoming
More market driven
