Adam Bullied, Product Manager, MusicIP
and blogger, Write That Down.

Product managers are the proxy to the market(s). The elements that are seemingly too formal for a start-up are often what help you move at lightening speed later down the road. Key items such as product definition and building a proper product team, often get left out of the mix in favor of writing code and “shipping.”

Problem is, a piece of code is not a product.

While those things are critical for start-ups to succeed, so is making sure you have effective requirements, excellent cross-functional relationships (whether that’s one marketing person and two developers, or more), and solid founder relationships.

This presentation covers some of the key elements in helping teams to understand why solving problems is critical, and what it really means to be market-driven - and not just say that you are.
