message: The link to the reference article that is the basis of this topic is not spam. Please do not remove it as I shall reinstate it.
I can create a link directly to the PDF if that is needed for compliance.  Lets discuss this.
Also, the topic is after cleanup.--Spinacia 16:56, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for responding to my edits.  First, why haven't you been linking directly to the article?  Second, I think the article still needs cleanup since it's not encyclopedic and has poor references.  Third, I think the article should have the marketing tag to provide better access to the related subjects.  Fourth, we need but do not currently have reliable sources per WP:RS and WP:V. Fifth, if the sources listed are the only and best available, then we may have a proble with notability.  Sixth, this applies to each and every article that lists such sources, which there seem to be a rather large number of on related topics.  Seventh, the references are borderline advertising, especially when not directly linked - I'd rather have better references that are clearly not promotional. --Ronz 17:17, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: I've removed both sources as dubious per WP:V - authors are not notable, articles are self-published. --Ronz 01:00, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I shall defer discussion on the issue of external links and references.  Do note that the topic of product management is different than other "encyclopedic" topics with many of its thought leadership emanating outside of academia.  In the meanwhile I shall continue to expand the article.  Thanks.  Spinacia 08:37, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

message: Comment: A more accurate view may be that the overall function is Product Marketing in the sense that marketing is "Satisfying a customer's need for a profit." Product Promotion is more accurately defined with the terms above regarding placment and outgoing messages. For the above discussion, replace Product Planning with Marketing and replace Product Marketing with Promotion.
The above was added just before the See Also section.  If it didn't introduce so many new phrases I would have taken a stab at incorporating it into the early paragraphs. --Ronz 04:41, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

message: Product Portfolio Management redirects to this page, but there's nothing here.  Can we have a little description on one of those pages?

replies: text: I think PPM and PM are different things, aren't they?  Or maybe related, but a different levels.  Portfolio Management has to look at the overall picture of how a suite of products fit together and into the marketplace.  Things like release timing are concerns.  With Product Management, it is the specifics of an individual project and how to go from idea to product and continue maintaining it.  Right?  Jackvinson (talk) 14:53, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  PPM and PM are very different. PPM is about the governance of investments. The article on Project Portfolio Management is more related then product management.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.65.145.162 (talk) 21:08, 16 August 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Disambig, etc? 

message: I'm assuming that we want the opening section of this article to provide a simple, accessible, and useful summary of product management for people who want to learn more about the profession?
If so, it's possible to improve on the current introduction:
"Product management is an organisational lifecycle function within a company dealing with the planning, forecasting, and production, or marketing of a product or products at all stages of the product lifecycle. Similarly, product lifecycle management (PLM)[1] integrates people, data, processes and business systems. It provides product information for companies and their extended supply chain enterprise."
Marty Cagan describes the profession simply and is widely referenced within the product management profession.
'Inspired: How To Create Products Customers Love' suggests that product management begins with discovering a product that is valuable, usable and feasible. This might be a good way of describing product management? It is a simple, accessible and useful description.
We could probably extend Marty's description to cover the full life cycle as follows:
'. . . It then makes products more valuable, usable and feasible over time. It retires products when they are no longer sufficiently valuable, usable and feasible.'
Add all this together and an improved introduction could be:
'Product management begins with discovering a product that is valuable, usable and feasible. It makes products more valuable, usable and feasible over time, and retires products when they are no longer sufficiently valuable, usable and feasible.'

message: A basic question about the section "further reading" deleted yesterday: How about transfering/uploading the 3 books to Wikimedia Commons? Would that meet the guidelines or would these PDF-documents still be inappropriate content?
