Breakfast Club (downtown)

Topic: We will take a look at turning ideas into prototypes, why prototypes are useful, and is the process of making prototypes more useful than the prototypes themselves. We will also talk about how a product manager facilitates building prototypes, how prototypes are built in your organization including a little discussion of the differences between hardware and software prototypes, and what are the differences between creating prototypes for use in the organization and prototypes that end up in customers' hands. This month's topic builds on our discussions of brainstorming in previous Breakfast Clubs; though you do not need to have attended previous meetings.

The Breakfast Club, meets the first Friday of every month, is an informal gathering of people interested in talking/learning about product development and networking with other product development professionals. You do not need to be a registered member of the PDMA to join us and there is no cost. Just RSVP and show up to join the conversation. Stop by anytime.
