Internet of Things (IoT) Strategy and Product Management
The Internet of Things (IoT) has changed the world as we know it in the same way that the internet has changed our lives over the last 30 years.
​​​
Savvy organizations are looking to understand the IoT and where they can take advantage of this seismic shift.
In a recent engagement, we worked with a client to review their existing product strategy and recommended ways to improve their offering to take advantage of emerging IoT technologies.
We conducted an analysis of the client's sales then interviewed over 50 existing and prospective customers. By matching the results of these analyses with IoT technology and trends, we identified new areas for the client to focus on and recommended the most appropriate IoT network technologies for these use cases. The customer pivoted from using Wifi and 3G to using LoRaWAN and Sigfox Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) technologies. They re-focused their product strategy on specific use cases and saw an immediate increase in customer demand.
Project Management Process Design and Consulting
There is an ever evolving list of project management methodologies and frameworks:
- SCRUM, Agile;
- PRINCE, PMBOK;
- Waterfall, spiral
- Lean and XP
​and there are nearly as many different approaches to project delivery, including buzzwords like MVP, POC and discovery.
​
Given all of these options, it's critical to work with project managers who understand - and who have hands on experience with - all these approaches.
Milcane's lead consultant was engaged as part of a team charged with consolidating the project management and delivery methodologies for a large Australian energy company. This ASX listed organization had had recently completed an acquisition of a number of related companies as part of a strategic expansion.
​
Our consultant reviewed over 50 different project management templates including project plans, project communications and risk management templates (to name just a few) helping the project team to develop a consolidated project framework that fitted the needs of all users and stakeholder groups across the organisation.
