Abstract

Agile software development has been established over the last 15 years as a popular development approach. In a time when speed of change is of utmost importance, agile approaches are often the most appropriate roads to success. They do not only change the way development is performed, but they also impact other parties involved in development projects, in particular the software product manager. Software companies are faced with the question how software product management and agile development can work together in an optimal way. Who is responsible for requirements? Is the software product manager automatically the designated “product owner” (Scrum)? Or is “product owner” a new and separate role? Does he/she replace the software product manager?
The Software Product Management Framework which has been developed by the International Software Product Management Association (ISPMA e.V., www.ispma.org) provides orientation. It can be used as a helpful tool to make the change process towards agile development successful.
