The latest Global Study of Product Team Performance Survey<\/em><\/a> provided insights in product management roles, methodologies and increasing product profitability. Let’s take a closer look.<\/p>\n

Question: Which of the following methodologies do you associate with increasing your product\u2019s profitability?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Response<\/strong><\/td>\nPercentage<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Agile\/Scrum<\/td>\n51.1%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Blended (Some Waterfall, some Agile)<\/td>\n22.4%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Don\u2019t know<\/td>\n15.7%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Waterfall<\/td>\n3.5%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Other<\/td>\n3.5%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Kanban<\/td>\n2.8%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

 <\/p>\n

Product Profitability – Drilling Down on the Response<\/strong><\/h2>\n

More than half of survey respondents (52.1%) named Agile\/Scrum as the methodology most often associated with increasing product profitability. Blended (some Waterfall, some Agile) was a distant second with 22.4% of responses. Waterfall (3.5%) and Kanban (2.8%) barely garnered any responses. However, it is interesting to note that a significant 15.7% of respondents are unclear which methodology is associated with growing product\u2019s productivity.<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

Question: Which of the following product management professionals does your organization utilize? (Check one.)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Response<\/strong><\/td>\nPercentage<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Product Managers<\/td>\n40.6%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Both Product Managers and Product Owners<\/td>\n32.3%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Product Owners<\/td>\n16.1%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Neither<\/td>\n11.0%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

 <\/p>\n

Product Management Roles – What the Responses Tell Us<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Slightly more than 40% of respondents indicated that their organization uses product managers. Nearly a third (32.3%) described use of both product managers and product owners. An even smaller number (16.1%) indicated that the only product management pros in their company were product owners. Sadly, a full 11% replied that their companies use neither product managers nor product owners.<\/p>\n

Coming Up<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Next week we will dig deeper into the responses generated by the Global Study Product Team Performance Survey<\/em><\/a>. The survey findings (and thus this series of posts) will culminate in the revelation of the six new key performance indicators shared by high-performing teams. These are factors you can use to increase your own company\u2019s success.<\/p>\n
