  4. Let's talk about the effect of agile product development on go-to-market and marketing.

    Agile moves at a vastly different pace than traditional "waterfall" development. When your product team is rolling out new features every month or less, how do you bring them to market? Do you promote new capabilities and value propositions as they become available? Or do you wait for critical mass and go for a big bang? What's worked for you? What's bombed? How else do agile and SaaS change the marketing mix?

    Share your experiences, your lessons and your successes in this lively discussion.
