Lean Product Management. Successful products from fuzzy business ideas
Mangalam Nandakumar
Lean Product Management is about finding the smartest way to build an Impact Driven Product that can deliver value to customers and meet business outcomes when operating under internal and external constraints. Author, Mangalam Nandakumar, is a product management expert, with over 17 years of experience in the field. Businesses today are competing to innovate. Cost is no longer the constraint, execution is. It is essential for any business to harness whatever competitive advantage they can, and it is absolutely vital to deliver the best customer experience possible. The opportunities for creating impact are there, but product managers have to improvise on their strategy every day in order to capitalize on them. This is the Agile battleground, where you need to stay Lean and be able to respond to abstract feedback from an ever shifting market. This is where Lean Product Management will help you thrive.Lean Product Management is an essential guide for product managers, and to anyone embarking on a new product development. Mangalam Nandakumar will help you to align your product strategy with business outcomes and customer impact. She introduces the concept of investing in Key Business Outcomes as part of the product strategy in order to provide an objective metric about which product idea and strategy to pursue. You will learn how to create impactful end-to-end product experiences by engaging stakeholders and reacting to external feedback.
Lean UX dla zespołów Agile. Projektowane doskonałych wrażeń użytkownika. Wydanie II
Jeff Gothelf, Josh Seiden
Zaprojektowanie doświadczeń użytkownika (UX) jest najłatwiejsze, jeśli do pracy i testów angażuje się... rzeczywistych userów i pozyskuje od nich informację zwrotną. Podejście lean UX łączy podstawy myślenia projektowego i programowania zwinnego. Myślenie projektowe rozszerza zakres pracy poza interfejsy i artefakty, opierając się na współpracy, iteracjach, budowaniu i empatii. Metodologie zwinne polegają na przeorientowaniu wytwarzania oprogramowania na krótsze cykle, regularnym dostarczaniu wartości i ciągłym uczeniu się. Ważne jest szybkie zapoznawanie klientów z pomysłami i ciągłe dostosowywanie się do nowo zdobytej wiedzy. W ten sposób lean UX znakomicie sprawdza się w projektowaniu wrażeń użytkownika w środowiskach zwinnych. Ta książka jest drugim wydaniem znakomitego podręcznika, w którym opisano wartościowe zasady, taktyki i techniki polecane dla zespołów pracujących nad produktem, aby mogły one w zwinnym procesie ująć projektowanie, eksperymenty oraz nieustanne doskonalenie rozwiązań. W książce pokazano, jak ściśle współpracować oraz wcześnie i odpowiednio często pozyskiwać informacje zwrotne. Praktyczne wskazówki ułatwią wdrożenie zasad kierowania projektowaniem w krótkich, powtarzalnych cyklach, co pozwoli na ocenę, które działania są najlepsze dla firmy i użytkownika. To cenna pozycja zarówno dla projektantów UX, jak i dla programistów czy menedżerów, którzy znajdą w niej źródło pożytecznych wskazówek ułatwiających uzyskanie doskonałych wrażeń użytkownika. W tej książce: zarys metodologii lean UX i zasady projektowania doświadczeń użytkownika etapy cyklu lean UX pozyskiwanie informacji zwrotnych i ich wykorzystywanie integracja praktyk lean UX w obrębie organizacji rola podejścia lean UX w typowym środowisku zwinnego wytwarzania oprogramowania Lean UX: zwinne zespoły projektują najlepsze interakcje!

Amazon SageMaker enables you to quickly build, train, and deploy machine learning models at scale without managing any infrastructure. It helps you focus on the machine learning problem at hand and deploy high-quality models by eliminating the heavy lifting typically involved in each step of the ML process. This second edition will help data scientists and ML developers to explore new features such as SageMaker Data Wrangler, Pipelines, Clarify, Feature Store, and much more.You'll start by learning how to use various capabilities of SageMaker as a single toolset to solve ML challenges and progress to cover features such as AutoML, built-in algorithms and frameworks, and writing your own code and algorithms to build ML models. The book will then show you how to integrate Amazon SageMaker with popular deep learning libraries, such as TensorFlow and PyTorch, to extend the capabilities of existing models. You'll also see how automating your workflows can help you get to production faster with minimum effort and at a lower cost. Finally, you'll explore SageMaker Debugger and SageMaker Model Monitor to detect quality issues in training and production.By the end of this Amazon book, you'll be able to use Amazon SageMaker on the full spectrum of ML workflows, from experimentation, training, and monitoring to scaling, deployment, and automation.
