The Real World of High-Tech Product Management

No one needs an introduction to the Indian software industry. Newer, though, is the product story from India. For this reason, high-tech product management in India too is a new entrant on the scene, and one that has much growing up to do.

Here at Confianzys, we think of ourselves as product management evangelists and we’re the first to acknowledge that we have a long way to go before Product Management as an effective function becomes part of the DNA of companies in India. Of course, in the last two years of our existence, it’s been a pleasure to work with small and large companies that are putting in place a product management discipline and reaping its benefits.

At the same time, we’ve often heard CEOs and business owners express a desire to gauge the efficacy of the function and improve their Product Management processes. Which is why, we’re glad to be bringing to India, the best possible subject matter expert on the subject: Gabriel Steinhardt, Managing Director of Blackblot, the world’s leading Product Management training organization and author of The Product Manager’s Toolkit.

At a workshop on ‘The Real World of High-Tech Product Management’ at the Nasscom Product Conclave (to be held on 11^th November at 2.30PM), Gabriel will be taking participants through a product management perfomance review and discussing with CEOs, business heads and Product Management practitioners how they can gauge the maturity of product management practices at their workplace. 

If you have been grappling with the various challenges commonly faced by Product Management practitioners in India, such as making your product strategy market-driven or defining roles and responsibilities, it would be a good place to talk best practices and actionable information with others in similar roles.
