Please help us advance the Product Management profession by participating in the
280 Group 2009 Product Management Benchmark Survey. (note: this is different
that the "Doing More With Less as a Product Manager" survey we ran last month.
Those results will be published shortly.)

The 2009 survey (http://tinyurl.com/mcrbgz) is VERY BRIEF and will help us all
learn more about ACTUAL product management practices in the field. Your answers
will provide meaningful insight into today's high-tech product management
environment. We are also looking to evaluate market maturity and establish
comparative benchmarks. All responses are confidential.

The survey should take you LESS THAN 10 MINUTES to complete. What's in it for
you? Following the survey, the 280 Group will publish a report complete with
analysis. The result will allow you to compare your product management practices
with those of the broader market. The survey will close July 3rd and the report
will be released before July 31st.

Additionally, participants will be eligible to win one of several prizes:

- Grand Prize: 280 Group's PM Office Pro ($400 value). Includes over 150
templates and five self-paced training modules for product management and
product marketing tasks. Details at http://tinyurl.com/2r5yyf.

- Three copies of the ebook version of Expert Product Management. Details at
http://tinyurl.com/n4e665.

- Four Amazon.com gift certificates ($50/each).
Thank you in advance for making this survey a success. We appreciate your
participation!
