Leon says, "I’m happy to be speaking at The Global Product Management
Talk about requirements management since it is a challenge product
managers confront in every organization, where ever they are located.
Knowing what to invest in, how to invest in it and implementing the process
with superior results, is the result of a great product management process."
Leon Malalel, Strategic Product Management™ consultant and trainer, Discussed The Importance of
Effectively Managing Product Requirements To Guarantee Successful Products
INTRO
Requirements management is the corner stone of any product delivery process and the most important task of
product management. The quality of this process will dictate the quality of the entire release. The purpose of
requirement management tools is to provide a repository and enable the management of gathering, evaluation,
prioritization, dependency and traceability activities. Without such a tool, the entire process, which becomes
manual, is very inefficient, disorganized and sometimes even creates more mess and damage than value. Such
tools also serve the transparency needed to allow any stakeholder in the organization to observe and review the
requirements. This way, the overall process will not become the "private and secret" world of the product
management, but rather enable smooth communication and collaboration between product management across
all functions to ensure the ultimate success of the product creation process in support of the business strategy.
Each week, The Global Product Management Talk features an expert guest speaker who asks questions of
the participants on Twitter in a Socratic discussion. The speaker and co-hosts broadcast their comments
over BlogTalkRadio. The transcript of Tweets and podcast are available after the live event.

func out there #prodmgmttalk -8:49 AM May 21st, 2012
jidoctor if you are using the right tool to help your product plng process, reviews are just part of the rhythm and not on
a "schedule" #prodmgmttalk -8:50 AM May 21st, 2012

cohesion w/ dev. #prodmgmttalk -8:51 AM May 21st, 2012
cindyfsolomon @JohnNewbury asked about RMT mobile ability - #prodmgmt need to access 24/7
worldwide#prodmgmttalk -8:53 AM May 21st, 2012
jidoctor disagree @johnnewbury, not all RMT need to be mobile-based. it's about the biz. don't run to mobile if that
isn't the problem #prodmgmttalk -8:53 AM May 21st, 2012
