Goals
● Dig deeper into web product management● Intro understand project management - 7pm● In particular, take pivotal tracker for a test run:
– Paired exercise
– In group
● And then step out, and connect the tool to the craft of product management– Talk by Pivotal, shortly after 8pm
● Agile project management is an iterative and incremental method of managing the design and build activities for engineering, information technology, and new product or service development projects in a highly flexible and interactive manner, for example agile software development.
● http://agilemanifesto.org/
● Metaphor – have you climbed a mountain?– It's incremental, not one giant leap → agile process
Wiki – agile project management
(Meetup team formation)
● 'Experts' – those who've used the tools:– Atlassian Jira/Confluence or Pivotal Tracker
– Trello, Basecamp, Asana, Nama PM, Better, etc.
● Others are 'N00bs'● Pairing – ideally expert & n00b● Sample apps:

● How does your team communicate product roadmap? – Is it a list?
– Is it visual?
– Is it verbal?
● How does your team monitor and measure resources?
● Sit next to your pair. Close your eyes. Give each other a hi-five. Now open eyes. Try again.
