Rocky Mountain ProductCamp is October 29th.  With the few weeks remaining I thought I would get some different perspectives on product management, product marketing, and product development.  Today I had the opportunity to ask Brad Feld a few questions about product management.  For those that are not familiar with Brad, he is the managing director at the Foundry Group which is a Boulder based venture capital firm.  He has also written two books - Do More Faster and Venture Deals: Be Smarter Than Your Lawyer and Venture Capitalist.

Brad recently wrote a blog post about Competition.  This post and some of the promised follow on posts look to be great product management discussion topics. Today Brad shared his views on -

• [00:55] Product Management's roots
• [02:00] CEO of the Team
• [05:25] Product Management in the Front Range
• [05:55] Skills
• [07:15] Evolution in the company as it grows
• [08:30] Organizational placement
• [09:10] How to break into Product Management

While I would have liked to have drilled more into any of these topics, however the 15 minutes promised were quickly exhausted.  I also wanted to respect Brad's time during a working vacation.
