Welcome to episode #25 of IoT Product Leadership, a podcast featuring in-depth conversations with product leaders on what it takes to build great IoT products. I’m your host, Daniel Elizalde.  

 

I’m very excited about today’s episode. My guest today is Dan Olsen, an expert Product consultant and author of The Lean Product Playbook.  

 

In this episode, Dan describes the concept of product/market-fit, and how companies large and small can apply this concept to create successful IoT products. 

 

I also want to let you know that for 2019, in addition to my online courses for IoT product managers, I’m expanding my training offering to include more in-house workshops and additional consulting packages to help you create a solid IoT product strategy and build alignment across your organization.
