  • Ensure solutions (to be) released meet the users needs and product readiness guidelines.

  • Manage 3rd party partnerships: requirement definition and prioritization, coordination of product evolution and other activities with the partner

  Requirements Management

  • Roadmap: essential in a community environment. The Product Manager leads the product from the roadmap in order to serve the customers and implementation projects rather than being led by the project. Key elements for success here revolve around having the right vision. The Product Manager works closely with the development teams to secure and maintain the product roadmap.

  • Build his/her own vision from the various sources, for a community product the product manager is exposed to varying requirements around the same area from different customers, regions etc.. This means that the product manager is in a unique position to extract the best approach.

  • For product construction and gap analysis the Product Manager needs exhibits strong listening skills, with a good understanding of market and customer needs: understanding where the customer comes from, demonstrate to customer the need has been understood (and not just documented).

  Financials and opportunity Management

  • Value analysis: the Product Manager builds a view on the key elements of our solutions or potential solution to bring value to the targeted market and the ability to quantifying using a variety of techniques. This will require the ability to create estimation using informed assumptions as often the detailed data analysis is not really possible.

As a result the Product Manager will also maintain the product packaging for optimum performance based on the markets. Perform competitive analysis of other market solutions potential 3rd party solutions available on the market.

  • Pricing: especially with new products this can prove an uneasy activity if not handled structurally and combined with the fact that there is a significant amount of subjectivity. The key aspect is to show how pricing/revenue can be maximized. Pricing is driven by the value generated and/or the willingness to pay. A product manager is key to help drive this willingness to pay by demonstrating the value of the product and convincing the customers and markets. The construction costs only come as a last measure and mostly as part of a business case validation.
