Kev Coleman, VP Product Management, Experion Systems, Inc. - Discussions of product management are often abstracted from the developmental stage of the business in which product management activity takes place. The success criteria for product management as well as its associated organizational constraints evolve alongside transitions in business developmental stages. The webinar intends to introduce product managers to a model of the corporate life cycle and illustrate differences in requirements collection, competitive positioning, distribution influences, and product success criteria for each stage in the life cycle. The webinar will conclude with suggestions regarding how sensitivity to life cycle theory can enable product managers to be more effective in their specific business contexts as well as better manage positive and negative life cycle transitions.
