AIPMM Forwards Product Management Professionals By Cultivating A Culture Of Mentoring

Aug. 2, 2012 - PRLog -- Nevada - New and seasoned product professionals confront challenges and obstacles on a daily basis due to any number of reasons. People are thrust into positions of authority over products, projects, programs and processes and expected to successfully produce desired product results. There are common barriers to breaking into a product management role or product team for new product management professionals, as well as challenges to career advancement for rising product management professionals.  A vetted mentor community within the product management professions strengthens individual practitioners, entire product teams, contributes to the success of the product and the entire business organization.

The Association of International Product Management and Marketing (AIPMM) is cultivating a culture of mentoring within the product management professions to assist current product professionals in successfully confronting obstacles in their day to day efforts, to facilitate rising product professionals in gaining experience and becoming successful product management leaders in their organizations, and to forward the profession, individual practitioners and product teams in successfully bringing products through the entire product lifecycle process.

"The AIPMM understands the challenges faced by individual product managers, product management teams, and executives. Launching our mentor program for  premium level members, is aligned with our mission to set standards of excellence for the profession of product management as well as offering a multi-faceted approach to training, certification and assessment suitable for individuals or teams of any size, located anywhere in the world," stated Therese Padilla, President of AIPMM.
