How To Develop A Compelling Value Proposition MAIL: http://bit.ly/ouZN8J FB:http://on.fb.me/ncKUD8 Site: http://bit.ly/dESAcb Hear: http://bit.ly/nbw9Yr

Jeff Lash @JeffLash discussed How To Develop A Compelling Value Proposition on May 7, 2012 on the Global Product Management Talk using the hashtag #ProdMgmtTalk

INTRO

Developing a compelling value proposition is one of the most important aspects of product development. A value proposition is a short summary of the value which a product will deliver to customers. Without it, product managers and product teams struggle to define what they're building, for whom, why that matters, and how that can be translated into product success. This talk will focus on how to develop a strong value proposition for new and existing products alike. Each week, The Global Product Management Talk features an expert guest speaker who asks questions of the participants on Twitter in a Socratic discussion. The speaker and co-hosts broadcast their comments over BlogTalkRadio. The transcript of Tweets and podcast are available after the live event.

Upcoming webinar:

Overhaul Your User Interface Without Upsetting Users

Tuesday, May 15, 2012 12:00 PM EDT/09:00 AM PDT

http://bit.ly/JQaAxK

Companies with successful software products often know when their user interface could be improved, but are concerned that any sort of major change might upset their user base. Indeed, GOOGLE, TWITTER, AND FACEBOOK caused quite a stir recently by making dramatic changes to their user interfaces. BUT for every example of design gone wrong, there is a success story of a company blasting ahead of its competitors by reinventing its product design. Hosted by Brian Lawley, CEO and Founder of 280 Group and Mary Piontkowski, Director, User Experience, Macadamian, this webinar gives key lessons on how to approach a major design update.

d8a_driven I'd say the hardest is knowing your customer#prodmgmttalk -1:04 PM May 7th, 2012\

d8a_driven Surveys are easy, good interviews harder, cross-connecting them to produce a working persona the hardest#prodmgmttalk -1:05 PM May 7th, 2012

jefflash @d8a_driven Is the hard part really just "knowing" your customer, or figuring out what they value / would pay for?#prodmgmttalk -1:06 PM May 7th, 2012

roadmapwarrior One challenge (dunno if biggest) is helping org understand value prop & feature list are not the same thing#prodmgmttalk -1:07 PM May 7th, 2012

d8a_driven Yes, the hardest question to get a straight answer to is: would you buy this? #prodmgmttalk -1:07 PM May 7th,

jefflash @d8a_driven Yes though I've seen a lot of people use "agile" as an excuse for NOT having a value prop & just starting building #prodmgmttalk -1:22 PM May 7th, 2012

milasgai will keep your product focused, will avoid waste of features #ProdMgmtTalk -1:23 PM May 7th, 2012

ProdMgmtTalk @RCauvin document value prop, problems to solve, key activities, basic solution in lean/agile process: examine assumptions #prodmgmttalk -1:23 PM May 7th, 2012

ErikaLAndersen @rcauvin: With lean startup, you document the problems being solved, user activities, and examine hypos/assumptions #prodmgmttalk -1:23 PM May 7th, 2012

d8a_driven Agile/lean do not mean you don't have a vision or that you don't keep trying to zero in on a VP #prodmgmttalk-1:23 PM May 7th, 2012

d8a_driven Just the opposite #prodmgmttalk -1:24 PM May 7th, 2012

ProdMgmtTalk Next question: Q3 Who "owns" the value proposition -- product manager, product marketer, executive? #prodmgmttalk -1:31 PM May 7th, 2012

ErikaLAndersen @jefflash: everyone has a handle on it, but one person should own it #prodmgmttalk -1:31 PM May 7th, 2012

d8a_driven Product Manager owns the value prop but needs to facilitate consensus #prodmgmttalk -1:31 PM May 7th, 2012

d8a_driven No PM is an island #prodmgmttalk -1:31 PM May 7th, 2012

roadmapwarrior I think Q3 may be the toughest. PM should own product/portfolio VP but it must tie to corporate VP, which may come from exec #prodmgmttalk -1:32 PM May 7th, 2012

d8a_driven What Jeff said #prodmgmttalk -1:33 PM May 7th, 2012

ErikaLAndersen @JeffLash: product marketers don't always do customer development, they do more outbound communications #prodmgmttalk -1:33 PM May 7th, 2012

ProdMgmtTalk RT @roadmapwarrior: I think Q3 may be toughest. PM should own product/portfolio VP but must tie to corporate VP from exec #prodmgmttalk -1:33 PM May 7th, 2012

ProdMgmtTalk Team all needs to feel ownership, says@RCauvin - every1 must be aligned & excited about VP - panacea? easier said than done #prodmgmttalk -1:34 PM May 7th, 2012

ErikaLAndersen @rcauvin: to have the most effective prod team; ALL feel ownership. Everyone be aligned and excited #prodmgmttalk -1:34 PM May 7th, 2012

pg5150 @ProdMgmtTalk @jefflash persevering the plane into the ground #prodmgmttalk -1:34 PM May 7th, 2012

milasgai @roadmapwarrior agreed! VPs should be aligned, if company goals change the Prod VP will change #prodmgmttalk-1:34 PM May 7th, 2012

jefflash @d8a_driven Is it really consensus or alignment (as@rcauvin mentioned). Market should weigh heaviest, more so than internal #prodmgmttalk -1:34 PM May 7th, 2012

d8a_driven Agree on shared ownership but someone needs to finalize or formalize or resolve disagreements #prodmgmttalk-1:34 PM May 7th, 2012

ProdMgmtTalk LOL! @d8a_driven that's why we broadcast simultaneously! Too deep to capture all on twitter! #prodmgmttalk -1:34 PM May 7th, 2012

coconuteclipse Product Team should feel shared ownership.@d8a_driven Product Manager owns the value prop but needs to facilitate consensus #prodmgmttalk -1:35 PM May 7th, 2012

ProdMgmtTalk RT @pg5150: @ProdMgmtTalk @jefflashpersevering the plane into the ground #prodmgmttalk -1:35 PM

May 7th, 2012

d8a_driven Alignment is a better teram. Agree. #prodmgmttalk-1:35 PM May 7th, 2012

ErikaLAndersen @rcauvin: #prodmgmt plays lynchpin role, but should facilitate excitement from everyone #prodmgmttalk -1:35 PM May 7th, 2012

ProdMgmtTalk Discussing what consensus means - ultimately market drives direction of VP says @JeffLash every1 shld own but not drive #prodmgmttalk -1:36 PM May 7th, 2012

Brioneja @d8a_driven It is not restricted. It has simply gravitated in that direction. #prodmgmttalk -1:36 PM May 7th, 2012

ErikaLAndersen @rcauvin: Steve Jobs was not known for building consensus in a Kumbaya fashion; much more forceful than that #prodmgmttalk -1:37 PM May 7th, 2012

ProdMgmtTalk Welcome @MarieBe #prodmgmttalk -1:37 PM May 7th, 2012

d8a_driven Can test 2-3 VPs against each other, but the real test is asking for the order #prodmgmttalk -1:40 PM May 7th, 2012

ErikaLAndersen @jefflash: Good VP? Someone reads and they agree. Compelling? I want it now. #prodmgmttalk -1:40 PM

ErikaLAndersen @JeffLash: The beauty is not always in the words to discuss the VP, but in the object itself. MP3 player vs. iPod #prodmgmttalk -1:49 PM May 7th, 2012

jefflash Maybe you can't tell the difference btw a good & compelling value prop with just the value prop; need a demo, prototype, etc. #prodmgmttalk -1:49 PM May 7th, 2012

ProdMgmtTalk @d8a_driven what do you mean by meeting length for measuring KPI for VP? #prodmgmttalk -1:50 PM May

7th, 2012

ProdMgmtTalk @JeffLash says KPIs & measurements must tie back to extent of VP potential to occupy mind share#prodmgmttalk -1:51 PM May 7th, 2012

ProdMgmtTalk @JeffLash discussing "Crossing the Chasm" G Moore - what is #product differentiation? i.e. Volvo owns safety#prodmgmttalk -1:52 PM May 7th, 2012

ErikaLAndersen @JeffLash: What form does a VP take? If you think "Safe Car", you think Volvo. #prodmgmttalk -1:52 PM

May 7th, 2012

ProdMgmtTalk @JeffLash suggesting define the Value Proposition before building the product... #prodmgmttalk -1:52 PM

May 7th, 2012

ErikaLAndersen When you think cute vaders, you think VW.#prodmgmttalk -1:52 PM May 7th, 2012

d8a_driven @jefflash VP should be compelling *if true* Demo should allow you to prove it. #prodmgmttalk -1:53 PM May

7th, 2012

ProdMgmtTalk Must know who you're solving problem for before articulating the value of a solution - @CindyFSolomon mentioned Chris Yeh #prodmgmttalk -1:54 PM May 7th, 2012
