What a day..

Presented to the engineering team working on one of my projects, getting everyone on the same page as it pertains to how all of the development efforts come together to make a product, how that product fits into our product portfolio, why it is important to our company and where we need to take this product in the future.
So far on this product I play the following roles:

• Technical Marketing Engineer (scoping the project for engineering, using customer requirements to define the development efforts)
• Product Manager (defining the marketing requirements and materials)
• Product Architect (designed the project from whiteboard to individual designing efforts)
• Chief Evangelist (evangelizing to other groups)
• Corporate Architect (defining how the product fits into our overall company solution-space)

Now those aren't really all within my job description, but you do what you need to do.. ;-)

Back to the presentation, it went very well and I believe I got the team energized and understanding where our direction is and should be.

This was a very good, but tiring day.
