SOFTWARE PRODUCT MANAGEMENT SUMMIT INDIA 2023 - MARCH 3 and 4
The effective and efficient management of end-to-end product lifecycle, otherwise defined as Product Management, has increasingly been gaining crucial importance in the constantly evolving business world to achieve business value and goals in addition to gaining a competitive advantage. Moreover, in the current era, Product Management can be seen as a catalyst for bridging transformative partnerships and collaborations between academia and industry, large-scale organizations and start-ups, government and citizens, and, more importantly, businesses and consumers like never before, giving way to limitless opportunities.
For instance, product management is not limited to the private sector alone. Contrary to the private sector, where the primary goal is profitability, Governments and Public Sectors are rapidly developing digital products for citizens’ well-being and policy change. For the accelerated and successful design of these products and services that citizens will use, product managers, are increasingly playing a critical role in bridging the gap between the government/political intent and citizens’ needs and choices. Similarly, academic evaluations of product and service designs now inform the best product management practices in the industry and vice versa. These transformative frontiers and trends underscore the need for a knowledge-sharing forum for product management and evolving opportunities.
Recognizing the need for a significant community platform to aid academics, professionals (product, technology, and marketing), senior and industry leaders, entrepreneurs, and consultants in the product management field to collaborate and exchange knowledge, the Centre for Software and Information Technology Management (CSITM) of IIM Bangalore and the International Software Product Management Association (ISPMA) have been conducting the India Software Product Management Summit since 2019.
Abound with knowledge sessions, including keynotes, workshops, panel discussions, fireside chats, academic papers, presentations on industry best practices, and success stories, the fifth edition of SPM Summit India 2023 will be held on March 3rd and 4th at IIM Bangalore.
The Theme below will guide the agenda of the SPM Summit India 2023.
