Customer Testimonials
“Primavera is the leading ERP software vendor in Portugal, Angola, Mozambique and Cape Verde with an SPM Team of experienced and new product managers. All our participants rated the SPM training very positively. Unlike other frameworks and trainings that we had tried before, ISPMA’s SPM framework fits nicely with our approach, and the training contents gave us valuable input for improvements. Hans-Bernd Kittlaus summarized perfectly our main concerns. The numerous examples from his extensive practical experience and his highly interactive way of training provided significant additional value. This will surely allow us to make some organizational improvements. 3 days well invested!“
Nuno Queiros, Director Product Management, Primavera, Braga, Portugal
“I am new to software product management. The training and the syllabus give an excellent introduction and overview of the role and responsibilities of the software product manager. My boss has asked me to take the role of “mini CEO” optimizing the lifetime value of our software assets. The ISPMA Software Product Management training gives me a jump-start on that journey. I can recommend this course to others who need to get their software product management function structured and organized.“
Lene Damgaard Madsen, Product Manager, Hedal Kruse Brohus A/S, Denmark
“Being new to the Software Product Manager role, the training was enlightening in many ways: Hans-Bernd Kittlaus managed to not only give a comprehensive overview of the various activities and responsibilities of an SPM, he also provided detailed insights into Product Strategy and Product Planning – always enriched with helpful advice and entertaining stories. Our product will for sure strongly benefit from my learnings during this training. Thank you for the great experience – highly recommendable.”
