  1. Understanding Your Business and Market [Sunghwan Bae@Strategy Team, SK planet]
    1. lesson
      1. bottomline: as a PM, combine quantitative and qualitative analysis, play a role to reveal blindside for designers and developers
      2. todo:
        1. draw business model canvas (9 boxes; finish within 3 hrs) and lean canvas (metrics, competitor analysis included on top of business model canvas; finish within 15 min) and show the canvases to designers and developers
        2. prepare scaled up business by knowing the number of workforce for the future
        3. support designers and developers with what they cannot do e.g. data
        4. assist syncing up between designers and developers
        5. find selling points for sales and communicate with sales team
        6. consistently monitor and provide feedback internally to improve service
        7. ideas to follow
          1. how to make (aka old model to lose)
            1. business model: business (business model, competitor, strategic partner), technology (base technology, platform), customer (needs, pattern)
          2. what to make (aka new model to follow)
            1. think customer first, then business and technology instead of the other way around
        8. break myths with below strategy
          1. do marketing first then register the app
          2. be careful in adding one input field which causes losing customer conversion rate by 30%
          3. add feature (or benefit) one by one instead of all at the same time
        9. always know trend and ask the right question
        10. shift paradigm from product development to customer development
        11. qualitative research: invite and conduct research on users in both extreme loyal and not-loyal
        12. know how to do front-end development (HTML, CSS, JS, jQuery)
      3. comprehend The Project Management Knowledge Areas from “A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge” by PMI Standards Committee (link)
        1. integration management
        2. scope management
        3. time management: launch on time, define resource and time
        4. cost management
        5. quality management: quality management has close relationship with time management
        6. human resource management
        7. communications management: sync-up with stakeholders
        8. risk management: consider qualitative/quantitative data analysis
        9. procurement management
      4. view and approach
        1. characteristics of professional goals (c.f. consider OKR (objective and key result))
          1. easy words used
          2. clear to understand
          3. metrics included
        2. lean approach: ideas-> build-> product-> measure-> data-> learn-> ideas to create MVP (minimum viable product)
      5. strategy: basic direction to build product and service
        1. think of innovation because competition focuses on winning but innovation focuses on both winning and performance (e.g. from 9.9 to 10)
        2. think what values you are providing
        3. double-check assumptions and reject wrong ones
      6. growth hacking
        1. growth hacking: a marketing technique developed by technology startups which uses creativity, analytical thinking, and social metrics to sell products and gain exposure <source: Wikipedia>
        2. growth hacker: nexus of analytics, marketing, UX

          3. selection and focus: simplify business with core features
        2. c.f. new business model
          1. the long tail: e.g. Netflix, eBay
          2. multi-sided platform: Google

  1. Product Management in the Perspective of Market and Service [Sunghwan Bae@Strategy Team, SK planet]
    1. lesson
      1. business model canvas/lean canvas
        1. business model trends: modeling approach is more important than business planning
        2. service-dominant logic: instead of business and product, what values customers need became more important (<- design thinking); fast prototyping with decision-making

        1. create the model within 15 min in one sitting
        2. list up each category based on now
      3. create user story when all members are present
        1. ask the most needed two features
        2. categorize must-have, should-have, could-have, won’t-have
        3. determine acceptance criteria
      4. understand quantitative and qualitative research
        1. purpose: find issue


    1. personal takeaway
      1. study
        1. Maker Faire (link)
        2. Solid Conference (link)
        3. Joi Ito: Want to innovate? Become a "now-ist” (link)

김태곤
  1. Getting familiar with development terms [Taegon Kim@Fancy.com, software engineer]
    1. lesson
      1. communication tips
        1. use numbers instead of descriptive wordings: e.g. move to the right by 15 px vs. move a little to the right
        2. provide detailed and tangible explanation instead of ambiguous and intangible: e.g. latency when pressing on Submit button vs. something wrong with text entry vs.
        3. use png instead of jpg (reason: difficult to pinpoint exact color)
        4. consider big picture (e.g. feasibility, resource, cost) first before making a request
        5. tell animation name and CSS code (link) and mouse over effect (link)
        6. before asking questions:
          1. before asking any questions, read previous conversation history
          2. ask how long will it take to finish a task instead of you can finish this within short period of time
          3. c.f. read Joel on Software (link, amazon link)
      2. image
        1. vector vs. bitmap (raster): vector (e.g. svg, ai format; icon image), bitmap (png, jpg, gif)
        2. 1 pixel: combination of red, green, blue
        3. color: 0~255 color
        4. #0000FF: first 00 (red), second 00, last FF, requiring 3 byte
        5. to express transparency, add another byte: e.g. rgba (255, 255, 255, 0.7)
        6. icon font: link
      3. the Internet and Web
        1. IP address
        2. localhost: 127.0.0.1 (aka my computer)
        3. tracking command: e.g. dig taegon.kim +trace
        4. server-client: relative concept because the server can become a client
      4. developer
        1. role
          1. client side: web publisher, javascript
          2. server side:web application developer, DBA (database administrator), SE (system engineer)
        2. programming
          1. application code by condition
          2. repetitive code
          3. clustered code
        3. classification of programming language
          1. compile language
            1. server side: C/C++, Java
            2. client side: n/a
          2. interpreter language
            1. server side: Python, PHP, Ruby
            2. client side: JavaScript
        4. library and framework
          1. license
            1. GPL: need to make entire codes open source if used any (e.g. Linux related codes)
            2. LGPL: need to make codes regionally open source where modification happened
            3. BSD, MIT: no restriction in usage
        5. server service
          1. some concept: vertical scaling, sharding
          2. service: Baas, Paas, microservice (e.g. address service, paygate service)
        6. tool: e.g. asana.com, slack.com
        7. cookie: data leaving a mark on server
        8. c.f. http: brings header and body info on network
        9. AJAX (asynchronous JavaScript and XML)
          1. can do: text data, file upload (only in recent browsers)
            1. XHR (XMLHttpRequest) 2: allowing file uploads, auto-save
          2. cannot do: ?
          3. AJAX usage: check status at XHR on Chrome browser
        10. JSON (JavaScript Object Notation): A representation of structured data like XML; great for both server and client side developers
        11. API (Application Programming Interface): point of useful chunk of libraries
        12. XML (Extensible Markup Language): markup language that defines a set of rules for encoding documents in a format which is both human-readable and machine-readable.
        13. SPA (Single-Page Application): a web application or web site that fits on a single web page with the goal of providing a more fluid user experience akin to a desktop application <source: Wikipedia>
        14. DOM (Document Object Model): document is referring to HTML doc, used in JavaScript
          1. DOM API: to make web page more dynamic


    1. personal takeaway
      1. understand rudimentary concepts to build web service
