Have Agile Teams Taken Over Product Management?
My colleague Bruce McCarthy will be the moderator for a panel on the topic of Agile Product Owner vs. Product Manager on May 7th. For the past couple of weeks, in my role developing programs for the Boston Product Management Association, I have been working with Agile New England on this exciting joint event including lining up a great group of panelists. This event is free for BPMA members. You can sign up for a free basic BPMA membership here and then sign up for the event. Signups have been running well ahead of usual so if you are interested in the topic I strongly recommend that you sign up now.

My colleague Jeff Kaplan is the moderator of the BPMA panel on the Internet of Things that I helped organize.

I'm excited about this panel because it is focused on the end product opportunities, not on the infrastructure opportunities. You can sign up for this event here.
