Tuesday, May 15, 2012
12:00 PM EDT/09:00 AM PDT
http://bit.ly/JQaAxK
Companies with successful software products often know when their user interface could be
improved, but are concerned that any sort of major change might upset their user base.
Indeed, GOOGLE, TWITTER, AND FACEBOOK caused quite a stir recently by making dramatic changes
to their user interfaces. BUT for every example of design gone wrong, there is a success story of a
company blasting ahead of its competitors by reinventing its product design.
Hosted by Brian Lawley, CEO and Founder of 280 Group and Mary Piontkowski, Director, User
Experience, Macadamian, this webinar gives key lessons on how to approach a major design update.

As product management certification becomes ever-more relevant and critical for success in the field,
it is also now gaining increased awareness and importance throughout the world. This webinar will
discuss becoming a Certified Product Manager(R) in Europe, including the details of the certifications,
benefits of becoming certified, course and exam options, the worldwide standard ProdBOK(R) Seven
Phase Product Lifecycle and any other questions you may have about how to use certification to move
your career forward. Also discussed will be some of the key differences between product

Phase Standard Product LifeCycle: What You Must Know For Your Products To Succeed on
May 14, 2012 on the Global Product Management Talk using the hashtag #ProdMgmtTalk
INTRO
How can businesses make their products DRAMATICALLY more successful? There is a process
that companies can implement to ensure success and avoid disastrous mistakes commonly made.
There are critical decisions that must be made in order for a product to succeed. Ignore these
decisions and you risk product failure. By understanding the seven phases that every product
passes through, product managers can guarantee that shipped products will better meet
customers' needs and deliver increased revenues and profits.
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.
Host, Cindy F. Solomon @CindyFSolomon is joined by co-host Nick Coster @NickCoster of @brainmates
