ProdMgmt Talk on 02/28/2011

Join me on 02/28/2011 (Monday) at 5 pm CT for the next ProdMgmt Talk. ProdMgmt Talk is a weekly Twitter event in which product management professionals examine and answer questions about a particular topic. You can follow the conversation here or configure your favorite Twitter tool to show tweets containing the #prodmgmttalk hash tag.

This week's topic is innovation and how it relates to product management. We will be discussing the following questions:
  1. Are product managers innovators or innovation enablers?
  2. What do great product managers do to innovate or foster innovation?
  3. What is the relationship between requirements and innovation?
  4. Does agile product management foster or hinder innovation?
How would you answer these questions? I'll be sharing my thoughts and hope to see yours on Monday.
