ProductCamp Austin – March 27, 2010

So what is more fun that being in Austin in the spring?  Not much, which is why I’m going to meet some folks for the first time, catch up with old friends and chat little bit about Product Management.   The ProductCamp momentum is amazing so far this year, looks like Silicon Valley went past the 500 mark, Atlanta approached 250 and new ones are popping up like ProductCamp Chicago and other ones around the globe.  I’m making a personal goal to make it to 4 this year, hopefully it is something I can do, since each one has a little different flavor and different people to learn from.

ProductCamp Austin should be a great event for all the local and not so local Product Management, Product Marketing, and Marketing folks to learn from and network with each other.

Hopefully I’ll see some of you at the AT&T conference center on Saturday, March 27 from 9 AM – 4:00 PM.

Tomato, Tomaatoe, Usability, UX, Human Factors – Whatever it’s a good idea.

I was talking to Jason Brett this morning to get hands-on view of how SoCal Product Camp went.   Jason went on about a great presentation he saw when he was out at the SoCal ProductCamp, so I decided to go out and find it and take a look.  Mack McCoy was kind enough to upload them to Slideshare, but the one below caught my attention.  I’m not sure if this is the presentation Jason was talking about, but in 13 easy rules you have a neat way to look at UX from Joely Gardner.

For me, I always like to see a way to easily digest information like this presentation.    I wonder if  UX principles were applied to the presentation?   I really like the white-space and I didn’t even notice the difference in the multiple bullet colors until looking at it the 4th review and that would definitely be something I typically notice first time around.  I guess that why we should care about our software product users experience – they shouldn’t notice the product per se, only the benefits they receive from the product.
