Putting the exact need (or not) of a manifesto aside, the question really comes down to whether there is a need to improve (in any significant ways) the Technology Product Management profession?My answer to that question is yes. It has to be yes because if the answer is no, it means the profession is perfectly fine the way it is, and we know that is not true by any means.Now the key questions are:1.

Good question. Putting the exact need (or not) of a manifesto aside, the question really comes down to whether there is a need to improve (in any significant ways) the Technology Product Management profession?

My answer to that question is yes. It has to be yes because if the answer is no, it means the profession is perfectly fine the way it is, and we know that is not true by any means.

Now the key questions are:

1. What are the main areas that need improvement? (the what?)
2. What are the best ways to enact those improvements? (the how?)

I’m currently trying to gather the data, through this blog, discussions with other PMs etc. to answer question 1. From there, as a community we can try to define how to answer question 2, as well as any other questions that come up.

Could you clarify that a bit? For example, I still think the pragmatic marketing framework is a pretty good way to capture all of the facets of what a PM does. Although I don't agree with all of it (and in particular there are things in the more pure marketing boxes that seem a bit dated), I still think it is pretty darn good and at most might need a tweak or two. Is the suggestion that we replace that with something else or is the Manifesto about something else completely? Sorry, I'm kind of coming into this conversation late so I might have missed something. That said, I think it's sparking a lot of interesting dialogue so perhaps that in itself is reason enough to talk about it some more. April Hi Saeed,
