Hans-Bernd Kittlaus and Haragopal Mangipudi have co-authored a new ISPMA-Compliant Study Guide and Handbook on Software Product Management for Startups

People in most industries see more and more business value in the role of product manager. So it is not surprising that there are an increasing number of publications, conferences and also training offerings on product management.

For a long time, the standard approach for software product planning and development was requirements-driven. We elicit and collect market requirements, analyze them and decide which ones to implement when. These used to be the steps with waterfall methodology, and basically it is the same with agile, e.g. Scrum, though roles and responsibilities and timing are a bit different.
