The Centre for Software and Information Technology Management (CSITM) at the Indian Institute of Management Bangalore (IIM-B), in association with the International Software Product Management Association (ISPMA), will host the Software Product Management (SPM) Summit at the institute on February 14 and 15.
Professor Rahul Dé, Chair, Centre for Software and IT Management, and Chair of the Information Systems area at IIM-B, said, “Of late, Indian IT firms and start-ups are focusing strongly on developing software products, both for Indian as well as international markets. Having a global industry association hold a summit in Bangalore will go a long way in enhancing these efforts.”
ISPMA is an open non-profit organisation that establishes Software Product Management (SPM) as a discipline in both academia and industry. This is a body of SPM professionals, thought leaders and professors as fellow members.
The global SPM summit brings together experts from the industry and academia as well as practitioners to exchange insights and best practices. With India’s growing prominence as the start-up nation and the powerhouse for many of the best software products in the world, ISPMA has decided to hold the SPM Summit in India as well.
The Indian SPM Summit 2019 is the inaugural edition organised by ISPMA in India.
Events planned
The event will feature several industry veterans as speakers, such as Professor Michael Cusumano, Distinguished Professor at MIT and DN Prahlad, Infosys Board member. Haragopal Mangipudi, member of the Board for ISPMA and an alumnus of the institute, will chair the conference.
Another highlight of the India SPM summit is the SPM Excellence Awards that was instituted to celebrate excellence in software management practices, and to showcase the best practices and role models.
The jury, chaired by Hans-Bernd Kittlaus, Chairman of ISPMA, consists of eminent professors and professionals from across the world. Evaluation of the nominations have been completed, and the five finalists would be making their final presentations during the event where the winners would be declared.
Panel sessions by CEOs, product and talent heads, student show cases, deep dive workshops will be some conducted during this two day event.
