With some randomness and last minute luck, I made it out to Product Camp Boston<\/a> on Feb 28.\u00c2\u00a0 The gracious hosts at the Microsoft Research Labs gave us this amazing venue for Boston Product Management professionals to learn, to teach, to network and just simply enjoy each other’s company.\u00c2\u00a0 Check out the Flickr group<\/a> to see pictures.<\/div>\n
The organizers led by\u00c2\u00a0 C Todd Lombardo<\/a> did an amazing job with the event and I am grateful for all their hard work. I figured I should note down the books, tools and links that were flying around during the event for posterity sake.<\/div>\n

Tools and Web Sites Mentioned<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n

Over the web usability testing tool : Userfly<\/a><\/h4>\n

<\/a>I recommended this web based usability testing tool to a few people citing the virtues : a) easy to set up, b) cheap and c) convenient for remote users. I think the easiest way to see how Userfly works is playing with the demo they put up.Check out their site<\/a><\/div>\n

Product Innovation Through Playing Games : InnovationGames<\/a><\/h4>\n

This site was recommended by the session leader of\u00c2\u00a0 Product Innovation Session<\/strong>. It appears to be a\u00c2\u00a0 collection of interactive techniques\/games you play to ultimately define your product’s future vision.\u00c2\u00a0 The site and concept are based off of the book with the same name.<\/p>\n
