Global Product Management Talk On How To Apply Lean Startup Principles As A Product Manager

March 5, 2013 - PRLog -- San Francisco - Heard of the "Lean Startup"? (who hasn't?) It's hard to argue with learning from user feedback and pivoting to achieve product-market fit. But how exactly are you supposed to do that? This discussion will be about best practices in understanding customer needs, product design, and usability testing that can be used to optimize your product to increase product success, customer satisfaction and increased revenue.

Dan Olsen, Entrepreneur, Interim VP of Product And Early Stage StartUp Product Management Expert, will talk with host, Cindy F. Solomon, about how to apply lean startup principles as a product manager on Monday, March 11, 2013 at the simultaneous times of 9:00 AM Pacific Time, 10:00 AM MST Denver, 11:00 AM CST Chicago, and 12:00 Noon EST Boston.

About Dan Olsen
Dan kicked off professional life as an engineer in the navy conducting submarine design. That got him a Masters in Industrial Engineering, paid by the navy, nice! He then headed to the Stanford Business School to get an MBA. He followed this up with a five year stint at Intuit as a product manager which gave him experience in product management and marketing. Dan then moved on to his next gig at consumer play Friendster. After that he decided to teach himself PHP, MySQL, etc. He moved on to consulting (business cycles…) and was Interim VP for a few post-Series A startups. Of course Dan wanted to do it himself. So he kicked off and bootstrapped YourVersion which is like a precursor to Flipboard (it hit the TechCrunch 50 in 2009). YourVersion got seed funding although didn’t see the hockey stick growth that consumer apps need.
