Product Marketing in an Agile Environment
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?

Discovering Product Requirements
As a product manager or product owner, you are responsible for discovering and deciding on product requirements and communicating them to delivery teams.
