I'm speaking on this topic at the following events:

TSO365 Monthly Meeting   Oct 8th 2024

CollabDays New England      Oct 18, 2024

Brief

While products are designed to meet customers' needs and desires, projects are established to achieve specific goals or objectives. This difference is not widely understood by enterprise or Microsoft partner development teams.

This session explains:

- Why agile is widely used in “product” development environments and less widely used in “project” development environments.
- When it makes sense to build a product for the Microsoft store
- What development teams need to understand when developing a product
-How to define the development scope
- How to make a product a commercial success

At the end of the session, attendees will understand that there is a big difference between the business model and decision process in a product versus project development environment.
