RSC hiring a product manager with specialist skills

2017-02-07T15:40:58.035Z

This role requires a chemistry background, and coding experience. It might be too specialist for this group -- indeed to try to ensure we've as wide an audience of candidates as possible, we've waived the need for existing ProdMgt experience -- but thought it worth sharing in case anyone is interested / knows of prospective candidates. It's going to be a very interesting opportunity to take a leadership position in growing an important area for the Royal Society of Chemistry.

Roadmapping software/tools

2016-10-18T12:16:00.609Z

Anyone have any experience of choosing and using tools to manage backlog, roadmaps etc.

There seem to be plenty out there.

To date, I've managed to get by using powerpoint, excel etc to collate feature ideas and requests, and to craft roadmap material to share internally and with customers. I am thinking that perhaps,with low entry cost SaaS models now prevalent, now is the time to try some dedicated PM tools.

Comments/suggestions welcome.

thanks
