"Requirements definition will take all the time it’s given, but in the long run, takes much less time if the appropriate problem statements are written as a basis for the requirements. To a large extent, problem statements make up the product manager’s goals for the market." - Stewart Rogers
"Your brand is determined by how customers feel about you. How customers feel about your products and services is determined by their interactions with your company." - Stewart Rogers
i prefer digg over reddit, del.icio.us over StumbleUpon. could not get StumbleUpon to even work - Stewart Rogers
Eric Florenzano is blogging about Django so I would expect it to appeal the the (technically minded) audience on reddit. Don't stress it. As I keep telling myself, content is king and 'build it and they will come' (maybe). - Andy C
So, of course, I just submitted a non-tech story. (Good one, by the way.) - Ontario Emperor
Ohh - getting some Reddit love for a legacy blog post - Thanks Ontario Emperor. - Andy C
The ocean is big, and the people on board the tanker are few. - Ontario Emperor

This is a massive supertanker, the largest type the Saudis have I believe, small amount of crew who aren't armed, on a slow moving vessel, while the pirates are on speedboats with RPGs. That's how hard. - Mohomed=genieyclo
i don't know... surely the fact there are pirates isn't new... considering the cargo... maybe an investment in some defense might be worthy? Sounds like a plan to fail was in place. - Stewart Rogers
You're assuming people are buying gifts at the expense of other portions of their budget. It's easy to buy gifts with a credit card that you don't intend to pay off... - Stupid Blogger (aka Tina)
Yes, people are cutting back on Credit Card Bill Payments. Smart. - Kamath ॐ
They are debt ridden after the merger I'm not sure how it doesn't happen. I'm still mad they killed The Rhyme and Raw from XM with no equivalent. Starting to sound like terrestrial radio, and with three radios, that doesn't make me happy. - Eric @ CS Techcast
Clearly, the Sirius - XM merger didn't solve all their problems. - Morton Fox
Quite a number of my friends invested in Sirius. Early on, I said that it was bleeding money but my stock analysis is apparently too conservative. - Morton Fox
Stewart, the answer is in the article: "When it comes to fixing the problems when they emerge, 28% found a solution successfully on their own but as many as 38% had to contact customer support to get help. At that for some people (15%) friends and family members who are more tech-savvy are the people to turn to when a product fails while 2% ventured online to find a solution for a problem there." So, to answer, people ask their tech-savvy friends who do look online. The 2% are tech support for the rest. - Phil Glockner
Financial institutions can no longer assume it is their way or the highway and Product Management will become a key factor in attracting and retaining your customer base. - Stewart Rogers
It's a french record label that is distributing their music under a creative commons model - they're monetizing their artists through merchandising and live performances - and it's really fun (and its obscurity makes it even more fun IMO). - bob corrigan
"Thanks for the great feedback, Mike. You are right on of course -
there is much more to consider when formulating price, as you point
out.
That's all great stuff.
My whole thing is just trying to help get over that initial hump. When
you are experimenting in the market to see if there is an actual
opportunity you sometimes don't have the luxury of going out and
really identifying value being delivered.
To me, that's something that comes over time. Chances are, you are
going to want to iterate on price while you iterate on the very first
versions of the product, work with the very first clients, and
actually identify what's out there. The opportunity you think was
there initially may not exist, so why not keep everything as simple as
possible?
Just my line of thinking. But again, you are correct. All PMs should
consider the exact things you mention - my experience just tells me
those come a bit later than the first, second, or third clients
acquired." - Adam Bullied
I liked it too. It is really good practical advice. I always struggle with cost-plus pricing, but sometimes it is appropriate. - Mike Boudreaux
