Today's increasingly aggressive product development schedules often waste resources on features and functions that customers don't need or that don't effectively distinguish products from their competition.

James Davies, Chief Innovation Officer, Accept Software, focuses on the three key aspects of a market-driven product portfolio model that shorten release cycles and support product managers in delivering better products to market, faster.

Mr. Davies addresses how to improve time-to-market through more effective product planning, achieve greater accuracy in anticipating customer and market preferences and develop higher-quality products that generate more excitement in the marketplace.
