• Knowledge based product development
  
  I've commented here before that I have recently become a Product Manager - when I say recently it was almost six months ago now. Of course I want to be a good product manager so I've been looking around material to tell me how to be a good product manager, much to my surprise I find that there are very few books written on the subject of product management. Indeed depending on your industry the role of Product Manager differs. Today is my birthday, I always like where possible to take the day of work and do something enjoyable. This time I’m at home

• Offshoring becoming more expensive
  
  As is so often the case this piece is US centric, and it is about manufacturing not services, still, some of the data and analysis are worth looking at: • Wage rises in China mean manufacturing workers now earn $4,140 a year up from $1,704 in 2003 • Weaker dollar also erodes the advantage (and since the pound is low at the moment the same is true in the UK) • Higher oil prices mean getting raw materials to China, and finished products from there is also more expensive They also hint at the delays in supply when you ship from China - because you have to order so far in advance and get stuff shipped.

• Book review: The Innovators Dilmma
  
  I’m just coming to the end of The Innovator’s Solution (Christensen and Raynor, 2003) - OK, I admit it, I can’t be bothered to read the last couple of chapters. Enter the market at the low end, offer a cheaper product than the current incumbents. Rather than compete head on target people who don’t buy the current products (non-competition) with a cheaper, less functional product. Like so many books the first few chapters are very interesting, then the tend to get a little bit boring. I suppose this is because the first few contain the ideas while the later chapters

• Pay Attention: The World is Changing
  
  I am keeping text on the home page minimal so the brief time I have someone’s attention is spent considering my product rather than scanning text. enjoy writing and speaking, especially about topics I really care about such as a product I’ve poured my heart into, so it takes discipline to be brief. Even outside of television and video, the presentation of commercial product is at an unprecedented pace. A digital native is a person for whom digital technologies already existed when they were born, and hence has grown up with digital technology such as computers, the Internet, mobile phones and MP3s.

• The Open Source Software Myth
  
  But as a project management or product development technique I can’t say I recommend it. First there is no single OSS development model: Apache has a stack of IBM cash, GNU C++ is largely volunteers with chip makers (and others) contributing expertise and resources to help their own products, Mozilla was seeded by Netscape and has done a good job of marketing itself, etc. Although from 2003 I think the analysis and arguments probably still stand. (This Once in a while I get asked my opinion on Open Source Software projects. Personally I think Open Source software (OSS) is

• CMM & Agile
  
  The other is the ill-defined product of an ill-defined community which owes as much to the punk ideal as anything else. That is, the report does not say “Smith, one the authors of this report showed the CMMI is effective (Smith 2003).” The names of the authors aren’t hidden, there is no subterfuge but its not clear and I wish they had been. Agile methods provide software development how-to’s that are missing from CMMI best practices that work well” I’ve finally, about 6 months after everyone else, got around to reading the Software Engineering Institutes report on CMMI and Agile.
