How To Run A Successful Beta Program
Often, customer beta programs are one of the most critical factors in the success or failure of a product. Yet many times they are not well-planned and are executed at the last minute with a lack of resources and focus. An effective beta program can provide you with valuable information, such as whether your product is truly ready to ship, what features should be in the next release and how satisfied customers will or won't be with the product. If done right, it can also set you up for critical launch and marketing deliverables such as success stories, customer quotes and references for the press. As a Product Management professional who is responsible for the overall success of your product, it is important that you ensure that the beta programs you run are comprehensive and effective.

How To Get Phenomenal Product Reviews
You and your team have worked long, hard hours to build an excellent product that meets the market needs and has the potential to take off. You've got first-rate marketing programs in place to generate demand, your sales team is ready to sell and you are nearing product launch. But no matter how good your product and marketing programs are, if you don't receive positive reviews your product will never take off. The reason for this is that customers believe reviews far more than they believe marketing. Great reviews drive word-of-mouth buzz, which drives sales. One of the most cost-effective and impactful things you can do to get revenue momentum going is to make sure you get phenomenal reviews.

How to Build a Compelling Product Roadmap
Product Roadmaps can mean the difference between success and failure when delivering and marketing software products. They can be one of the most effective tools in a Product Management professional's arsenal. Done correctly they can help win and keep large customers and partners, and can guide the engineering and strategic planning efforts of a company. Unfortunately most Product Roadmaps are created "On The Fly" and under pressure when sales or the company management makes a last-minute request. As a result they don't have the impact they should. This session will cover the different types of Product Roadmaps, how to create each of them, and which type to use for different situations. Leveraging his experience developing Roadmaps for dozens of clients and companies, Mr. Lawley will share best practices, tips and practical advice so that attendees will come away with a thorough understanding of how to build their own Roadmaps.
