We cover topics including:

» Thinking of visibility as a strategic competency, not self-promotion
» Controlling your narrative through regular updates

and more!

Off the back of his recent article for Mind The Product, Liam Smith interviewed me about my experiences in freelance product management.

I started as a freelance product manager in 2012 when I founded Product People Limited, and had been blogging about product management for a couple of years before that. (You can read my first ever blog post if you like.)

Product managers of software and hardware platforms face unique challenges that PMs of ‘regular’ products do not.

In this panel discussion, Hans-Bernd Kittlaus discusses platform product management with Samira Negm, Peter Stadlinger and Jock Busuttil.
