And What a Great Workshop it was Thank you all for
attending the IWSPM workshop, the discussions and insights were valuable and
next year we will probably need a bigger room! Please check out the blog for the presentations and papers at http://iwspm2008.wordpress.com/ “Hope there will be
another workshop next year!” – anonymous X “Very good combo between
academia and indusrty” – anonymous Y “The panel session at the
end was very good” – anonymous Z Workshop Objective In today’s competitive software markets it
is of utmost interest to have winning products. The success of any software
product depends on skilled and competent product management. Software product
management includes product requirements, release definitions, product
lifecycles, creating an effective multifunctional product introduction team
and – above all – assuring a winning business case. Software product
management is complex: There are many stakeholders, many responsibilities and
lots of skill needs, but no formalized education or agreed body of knowledge.
After the success of the first workshop (collocated with the 2006
Requirements Engineering conference in Minneapolis, USA) this workshop aims
to further increase the body of knowledge for this specific area of
requirements and software engineering by providing a forum to exchange ideas
and discuss state-of-the-art results. It will build and shape the community
of leading practitioners and research experts. Given the relevance of product
management in IT and software companies, and the rather unexplored scientific
and industry contribution in this field, the workshop will deliver a
state-of-the-practice overview of the available knowledge on software product
management, as well as an overview of areas within software product
management for further research. Topics of Interest
And this is what the group
looked like after the first two sessions:
