Project to Product or Which Way Does Value Flow?
The worlds of project and product management have become very close and in many ways intersected. In which case does it still make sense to talk about projects? When is it much more about product development? And how do you link the two together functionally, if you can? How does an organization actually work as a complex system? We will use a case study to show how to map the value stream, how to define the products involved and how change projects can relate to this. In this way, we define a certain possibility in which project manager-type roles still make sense even in a very lean-agile organization – although perhaps a little differently than it is traditionally thought of.
