Hello!
Our agenda for today:
◉Let’s talk about products
◉What is Product Management and what is it good
for
◉The relationship between Product Management
and Engineering
◉How do GOOD PRODUCTS come to the world
Feel free to ask Qs. This is bullshit-free zone.
Let’s talk about
products
What, how and most importantly: why
1
“
A product is the transformation
of a market opportunity into something
people are willing to pay for
Smart, connected products have three primary components;
Physical component,
Smart component,
and connectivity
The top required factors for
the success of a new product
are a good understanding of:
competitive
environment
customer
needs and
wants
nature of
the market
So you want to create a smart
product. Great. Now what?
We build products in the era of products,
when a product is more than its tech and a
smart product has to deliver some real value to its users.
Are you up for the challenge?
You have to make every single
detail perfect and you have to
limit the number of details
Good Amazon Echo Dot Bad WeMo Mr. Coffee
Working on the right problem
and solution is more
important than working hard
Good Pella Insynctive Bad Hi WiFi home-security
Think like a customer
Good Fisher-Price Smart
Connect 2-in-1
Bad Cisco Umi
“There is just one problem. No one wants to pay a whopping $600 for a
one-trick-pony set-top box, never mind the dumb $25 monthly fee.
With free services like Skype and FaceTime already available for our
phones, tablets and laptops, Umi is destined for the gadget scrap heap.”
“a device that includes a mobile and a projector, plus a slew of
extra features to sweeten the deal -- all for the surprisingly
affordable $70. It certainly isn't a must-buy product, but for
most parents, the Fisher-Price Smart Connect 2-in-1
Projection Mobile offers a solid long-term investment.”
A user interface is just like a
joke. If you have to explain it,
it’s not good enough
Good Belkin WeMo Switch Bad Digitsole SmartShoe

Make something people want
Good Witricity Bad Belkin Smart Slow Cooker
What is Product
Management and what
is it good for
2
Product Management
is an organizational lifecycle function within a company dealing with the planning,
forecasting, and production, or marketing of a product or products at all stages of the
product lifecycle. It integrates people, data, processes and business systems.
If I need you to end this day
with one thing in your mind,
it will be the following :
Talk to the customer; Nurture a project culture; Keep it focused
The relationship
between Product
Management
and Engineering Design
3
Engineering Design
is the process whereby a technical solution
is developed iteratively to solve a given problem
70-80% of the final product quality
Previous research shows that
And 70% of the product entire life-cycle cost
are determined in the product design phase
therefore the design-manufacturing interface represent
the greatest opportunity for cost reduction.
How do
GOOD PRODUCTS
come to this world
4
The 3 musketeers:
Incremental, platform and
breakthrough products
Breakthrough
products
are new to the
company or new to
the world
Incremental
products
are considered to
be cost reductions
or, improvements
to existing product
lines
Platform products
establish a basic
architecture for a
next generation
product or process
Our process is (not) easy:
Understand
and observe
the market,
the client, the
technology
and the
problem
Visualise new
customers
using the
product
Synthesize
the information
collected at
the first step
Prototype,
evaluate and
improve the
concept
Our process is (not) easy:
This is why we need the gates.
The gates are:
Opportunity screening
Idea evaluation
Go/No-Go for development
Studio time:
Let’s use some of Keter’s products as use opportunities to
learn from:
1. Choose a product you worked on in the last year or two
2. Go over the mentioned process and analyze the process:
What was the need? How could we make the process
better?
3. Get ready to present it in front of our amazing audience
It’s personas time!
Product lifecycle is short: build products that matter
