Editor's Notes
- Director of PM will prioritize markets and segments PM – understand customer needs and develop business cases for solving customer problems at the product level PMM – understand features and benefits and how those tie to customer problem "marketing programs" means PR, advertising, direct, website, events, etc. -- the whole marketing mix Whoe Product Definition deals with the actual product, the packaging and out of box experience, and all necessary supporting srervices (such as support, accessories As with anything that tries to assign tasks with roles, this is not set in stone. The goal is to list the most logical owner, but every company needs to determine how to split these tasks based on skill sets of its employees and where in the lifecycle a product is. So I think any framework comes with caveats. As far as the location of “markets” at the top and “customers” at the bottom. The Dir., PM, and PMM must understand both, but I was trying to suggest the Dir. Concerns themselves more with markets. Which markets and market segments to be in, which are growing, which are shrinking, which are changing, do we grow by taking our product to a new market or by creating new products for an existing market? The PM and PMMs are working very closely with customers and finding shared problems that make a market. But they start bottoms up and the dir, starts tops down. Let me know if this is lost or confusing. I think the side bars are clearer, but let me know. But the main internal interface for PM is development and the main internal interface for PMM is basically every other department. I’ve kept “inbound” and “outbound.” I’ve always found this notation helpful. It is not to say the boundaries are firm between all parties, but that primary inbound responsibility is the PM and primary outbound is the PMM. For me, inbound is what I call listening activities. Those things that feed into the product until it is built. Outbound is a broadcasting activity letting the world know about the product and stepping the target market through the awareness, consideration, trial, purchase, and evangelism cycle. However, I’d like to hear more thoughts on this. I think barbara and Jim makes some good points, there are some inconsistencies and is this label actionable? Is there a better label? Should there be no label? Pricing – I kept that with the director. I agree the PM needs to have input into it and target price is a design input. But if someone has to own it, I think it is the director. I have not added the term VOC but have the idea. Let me know you think VOC should be there. I’ve added competitive analysis to all three roles (Dir = company and financial analysis), (PM=product analysis), (PMM = price, promotion, and place analysis). Does this make sense? I was using the term “market requirement” and “PRD” which was inconsistent. I know use “market requirement” and “product requirement”. FYI – aim is introducing “customer requirement” which is the idea that each person has their requirements. When enough share the same thing it is a market requirement. s, warranty, value added services.)
