Startup Product Talks
Startup Product Summit
Startup Product is a movement for product excellence through cross-discipline collaboration and holistic product perspective. There is a lifecycle that every product, startup, idea and project passes through to be realized. Focusing on where the product is in its lifecycle enables a conversation that brings us all together on what will serve the product most to arrive at product/market fit, sustain growth and generate revenue streams.

April 11, 2011 Topic:
"If you were to going to spend close to $250K on a project how much discussion would be involved? How many meetings and how much buy-in would be necessary? What type of ROI would you need to get it approved? Now, if you were going to hire a new product manager how much of that occurs?
It is amazing how companies that put so much emphasis on market data can trust a hiring decision to a gut instinct. This week’s topic will explore the best practices around interviewing and bringing on board a new PM.

2. How does a company decide the type of product management skill level needed?

4. What interview format(s) do you use (1:1, panel, scenario, presentation) and why?
5. What question(s) have you used to truly assess a candidates qualifications?
6. How, as a candidate, do you convey your value in a short period of time?
