Software Product Management (SPM) is the discipline of governing a software from its inception to the market until it is closed down. SPM aims at generating the largest possible value to a business. Software products include pure and embedded software and software as a service. They are special because of their small life-cycle cost, great flexibility, and high rate of change.
