DAM as a Product: Building and Managing your DAM Program with a Product Management Approach

As a DAM manager, you are no doubt used to wearing many hats, from librarian to tech support and everything in between. And you may think of ‘product management’ as something your vendor does. While vendors certainly do keep up their own feature list and roadmap, you also have the power to ‘productize’ your DAM – your unique combination of technology, features and services all go into creating your product.

In this course, you’ll learn the basics of a product management mindset, and how to use the necessary tools and frameworks to take your DAM to the next level, to keep it growing and evolving over the long term.

Adopting a DAM-specific approach, the course will consider:

• Data models and governance, and how to fit them in to your overall product management approach.
• How utilizing a Product Management approach can help you manage the crucial relationships with your users, your internal stakeholders and your vendor(s).
• How to use Product Management to align competing needs and requests.

Sign up for this course and receive the following...

• Four detailed sessions exploring the basics of a product management mindset
• Teaching by leading expert Lisa Grimm, Technical Consultant, TWi
• Each session is 75 minutes including 25 minutes of Lisa answering questions
• A Certificate of Participation - evidencing your commitment to developing knowledge and skills
