This summit serves as a premier platform for researchers, practitioners, and industry experts to disseminate and exchange their latest insights, experiences, and research findings within the dynamic realm of Software Product Management. With a focus on fostering collaboration and innovation within the domain, SPM Summit 2024 will convene leading experts from academia and industry to deliberate on emerging trends, best practices, challenges, and future trajectories.
SPM Summit, slated for February 16th and 17th, 2024, at IIM Bangalore, will feature a diverse array of sessions, including keynote addresses, interactive workshops, insightful panel discussions, engaging fireside chats, presentations of academic papers, demonstrations of industry best practices, and compelling success stories.
Underpinning the agenda for SPM Summit India 2024 is the following overarching theme:
"ProductAI: Navigating the present & future of Product Management"
Background:
AI is rapidly reshaping the product management landscape, offering indispensable tools and insights that drive informed decision-making, enhance user experiences, elevate product quality, and boost efficiency across the product lifecycle. Embracing AI is no longer optional but a critical necessity for product managers aiming to remain competitive and adapt to the evolving demands of users and markets. The impact of AI on product management is profound and transformative. Through AI-driven analytics and machine learning algorithms, product managers gain deep, actionable insights into customer behavior. These insights lay the foundation for personalized user experiences, the development of tailored features, and precision-targeted marketing campaigns. AI extends its influence further by automating software testing processes, resulting in not only superior product quality but also faster release cycles. Moreover, it plays a pivotal role in managing the entire product lifecycle, from ideation to eventual retirement. At each crucial stage, AI streamlines processes provides real-time progress tracking, and offers valuable optimization suggestions. In this dynamic landscape, AI's integration is a game-changer, promising to redefine product management and fuel its evolution.
