The St. Louis Product Management Group meets the second Tuesday of the month at 6pm at SAVVIS.

Meeting are open to everyone — there is no charge to attend, RSVPs are not required.

The May 2009 meeting was held on May 12, 2009:

  • Topic: Requirements Management Tools: There Must Be A Better Way — You’ve captured some new product requirements, but now how do you effectively analyze, file, and prioritize them against all the others you already have? Note cards, ranked lists, and simple databases are easy to use for small projects, but quickly become unwieldy for most product projects. In this session, we’ll review and discuss methodologies, approaches, and software solutions for requirements management. Download the Presentation slides (405KB PPS file).
