Projects Versus Products Is Key!

Monday, 27 May 2024 @ 09:35 - 09:55

In this talk, Thomas di Giacomo will go into specifics about how product management has to be managed differently in open source companies.

He’ll talk about:

  • How you might not have full control over 95% of the full roadmap, and how to ensure you make full use of the 5% you do control
  • The specifics of pricing open source products
  • Managing the lifecycle of your project and your product, and the difference between the two
  • Being intentional about engaging developers in your project and product

Expect to come away with concrete ideas about how to manage the relationship between product and project from a product management point of view.
