Podcast development update: New name and a half year on

The past half year I’ve been active making the podcast (with the help of the awesome Matthijs of the ProwarenessOndemand.nl platform). In that time, making the podcast I have learnt a lot and there are some things I would like to share about its lessons and developments.

Most important part: If you’re doing this solo (or almost solo, with the help of the awesome multimedia-wizard Matthijs) it goes slowly. That’s ok, but I’m still looking for active collaborators as well as pro-active Product Owners with lessons, stories and cool ideas to share.

Second: A unique name is a really nice thing to have. As I’ve learnt the past months there are a few other Product Owner Podcasts out there, and although none I’ve discovered so far has exactly this name, it is nice to have something distinguishable (is that even a word?). So here is is: The Product Owner Perspective. This also enables my other P.O. focused outings to fit nicely under that label. And by extending from podcasting it looks like I’m able to enroll some brilliant minds to collaborate on blog posts and other stuff. Exciting times. Let’s see what happens next. :)

Lastly, doing off the cuff audio recordings of about 30 mins (or more) talking about whatever comes up is nice for people who listen to podcasts. However, I’ve come to suspect that my target audience, Product Owners, might not be the kind to sit back and spend half an hour on listening to or even watching two people throw around ideas. So I’m planning to experiment with a slight change in format. Not sure where it will lead, but I’m looking to chop up the interviews in specific questions and smaller parts. This way listeners can more easily select and decide what they want to spend time on.

Looking forward to another half year of Agile Product Owner knowledge sharing!
