Things that need blogging . . .
My name is John and I’m addicted to technology. My entire working life has been absorbed in creating technology products: from wireless telecom equipment (subscriber equipment and infrastructure) and enterprise application software development, to consumer electronics stuff (karaoke players). I’ve pretty much done everything that you can do in a career with respect to hardware and software product development and product marketing. Since I’ve been blessed with the richness of the experience of my career, I feel a need to contribute to the state of best-practices in the science of product management and product marketing (in other words, to allow others to learn from my mistakes).
That said, I have to admit that there is already lots of good information available with respect to product management and product marketing and, although I usually have an opinion on most things to do with product management and product marketing, I’d highly recommend work done by others (I’ll publish a good list of references here soon).
There are two areas which I feel are not covered well by others and which I intend to focus my blog effort around: i) sustainability as a key element of product development and ii) “product management for the rest of us”, how to apply product management and product marketing best-practices to small technology businesses which do not have sufficient critical mass to have a “product manager” on board.
I will endeavor to create an engaging and informative monthly posting which will help to improve the state of these two areas. Comments are welcome (however I do reserve the right to edit them and use them to further my cause – after all, this is my blog).
