Patrick Tickle wants your IT department to get better at product management.
In this age of digital transformation, when we all want to get closer to the customer and make our products smarter and more digital, product management is imperative. It requires a product manager who is externally oriented but can still work closely with engineering.
In Patrick’s debut blog for CIO.com, he outlines the first five tenets of Planview’s Product Manager Manifesto and makes a strong case for IT organizations embracing a product management approach.
He suggests that a focus on customers as well as technology will enable IT to define and drive business strategy, not just support it.
