The Global Product Management Talk on Removing Silos between Product Management and Engineering

June 4, 2011 - PRLog -- San Francisco, CA, USA 3, June, 2011--There is a growing trend in streamlining and removing organizational barriers between Product Management and Engineering groups in order to accelerate time to market and improve market satisfaction while avoiding redundancy. Product Management is responsible for driving product vision and defining product strategy, and must have complete alignment across the organization in order to be effective.

Each week, The Global Product Management Talk features an expert guest speaker who raises questions to stimulate the twitter discussion in response to questions pre-posted on Facebook.  

John Haniotis, Senior Vice President of Products at Accept, is responsible for product management and engineering. He manages Accept’s on- and offshore product development teams. A four-time Accept customer, John joined Accept Corporation from Intuit's Small Business Ecosystem platform and Financial Software Group where he was a Product Management and Strategy leader. There he was instrumental in pioneering a companywide Requirements Management process. Prior to Intuit, he guided the product management efforts of Aspect Communications, Chordiant, Halcyon and Neoforma. John has also held leadership positions at Global Village Communications and Apple Computer.

John will be "speaking" at the weekly Twitter event on Monday, June 6, 2011 at 4:00 PM Pacific Time, which will be Tuesday, June 7 at 10:00 AM Australian Time.

"I am very excited at the opportunity to connect with the wider Product Management community on twitter. My interest is to share and learn through exchange the best ways to identify and tackle PM challenges in order to make the Product Management more effective and valuable to the organization while bringing to market products which better meet customer needs and are profitable in doing so," stated Haniotis.
