Should they all be subsets of the product development group or should they be 2 separate entities? Which one works best? In my opinion, keeping them all within product development lends itself to everyone being on equal footing and being stakeholders in the success of the project.

Once the go ahead signal is done it is the mother who takes care of the baby till the baby is grown and so off to college.

The key difference in organisations that I have worked in is that the Project people walk away after delivery while the Product people have stick with it all until features or product(s) are made obsolete. What’s needed is always up for debate as the project moves on scrum is aimed to ensure that both the project and product people hit mile Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05388314930981220196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2913215993955067741.post-22140230596536268412007-04-12T20:59:00.000+01:002007-04-12T20:59:00.000+01:00I think that the main difference between product a...I think that the main difference between product and project managers is the fact that they have different objectives.
