The only interaction with Mktg is via my group so no, programmers and marketing do not mix. Product management are the "tweeners".<br /><br />Whether or not product management is in the right place is a whole different debate.<br /><br />Jeff<br />http://jeffreyhuth.blogspot.comJeffrey Huthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16486564054803358680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20083102.post-85724584112932297902009-05-12T14:22:00.000-05:002009-05-12T14:22:00.000-05:00My 'VP of Dev' view point - I'm lost, as is my tea...My 'VP of Dev' view point - I'm lost, as is my team, without our Prod Manager.. they don't exist on a separate 'team' - simply another role in a better organism.<br /><br />So yep, we live to be together and we love to listen and then make it happen!Ranbir Chawlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03808141741798186173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20083102.post-60026520230544975202009-04-26T04:54:00.000-05:002009-04-26T04:54:00.000-05:00No. Nada.
