ErikaLAndersen Wish that US IRS (tax) could listen to @indiathink; believe US employees can do all selling/managing
from US#prodmgmttalk -4:14 PM Nov 7th, 2011

uberkenny @indiathink I find having a larger presence in India (the bigger we are) has helped us attract more
talent. #prodmgmttalk -4:15 PM Nov 7th, 2011

cindyfsolomon @IndiaThink is answering @uberkenny comment re: attracting human capital- India employee wants
bigger brand, company w/mission #prodmgmttalk -4:16 PM Nov 7th, 2011

uberkenny @indiathink Yes, brand is key. The more our name is out there on signs, billboards, etc. The more
attractive we become. #prodmgmttalk -4:16 PM Nov 7th, 2011

cindyfsolomon @Indiathink says Indians are excited about what is happening in India & want to be part of it. Want
brand that contributes #prodmgmttalk -4:16 PM Nov 7th, 2011

cindyfsolomon @Indiathink says social media is a prohibiter for outsourcers #prodmgmttalk -4:18 PM Nov 7th, 2011

roadmapwarrior Are we talking about brands that make it public that Indian teams are involved? Or just big-named
brands in general? #prodmgmttalk -4:18 PM Nov 7th, 2011

errandmanagers First time here, hi everyone #prodmgmttalk -4:19 PM Nov 7th, 2011

roadmapwarrior How do Indian teams want to be recognized?#prodmgmttalk -4:19 PM Nov 7th, 2011

simplybastow Agile and cross-timezone development just don't mix. You need to be working the same hours to keep
up communication. #prodmgmttalk -4:19 PM Nov 7th, 2011

cindyfsolomon @simplybastow is answering the first question! Excellent! Welcome! #prodmgmttalk -4:20 PM Nov 7th,
2011

roadmapwarrior RT @simplybastow: Agile and cross-timezone development just dont mix. You need to be working the
same hours to keep up comm #prodmgmttalk -4:20 PM Nov 7th, 2011

ErikaLAndersen Many US gov't agencies don't understand in#prodmgmttalk -4:21 PM Nov 7th, 2011

cindyfsolomon @IndiaThink is talking about brands. Pepsi has an Indian CEO who focussed there while Coke is
struggling#prodmgmttalk -4:21 PM Nov 7th, 2011

roadmapwarrior @errandmanagers Welcome! #prodmgmttalk -4:21 PM Nov 7th, 2011

uberkenny @cindyfsolomnon Too many channels. Dialed in, but phone is several seconds behind the Webcast. Brain
hurts.#prodmgmttalk -4:21 PM Nov 7th, 2011

errandmanagers @roadmapwarrior Thank You #prodmgmttalk -4:22 PM Nov 7th, 2011

ErikaLAndersen IRS generally doesn't understand business or need for "boots on the ground". #prodmgmttalk -4:22
PM Nov 7th, 2011

cindyfsolomon @simplybastow welcome Janna from London@indiathink says Agile is best to maintain control cross
project & cross time #prodmgmttalk -4:22 PM Nov 7th, 2011

uberkenny @simplybastow I would agree with that. We blended agile and waterfall, and found it works
well. #prodmgmttalk -4:22 PM Nov 7th, 2011

cindyfsolomon @uberkenny Yes, audio best listened to afterwards while reviewing transcript #prodmgmttalk -4:23 PM
Nov 7th, 2011

brainmates Acc to @indiathink Agile tight way to maintain control over cross cultural projects #prodmgmttalk -4:23 PM
Nov 7th, 2011

cindyfsolomon @Indiathink says she worked w/group on 2 week iterations, the tighter about verifying where on
roadmap, better off #prodmgmttalk -4:23 PM Nov 7th, 2011

_______________________________________________________________________________________________




roadmapwarrior @uberkenny Blended how? Just short iterations? Less documentation and more
stories? #prodmgmttalk -4:23 PM Nov 7th, 2011

errandmanagers Great to know > RT @uberkenny: @simplybastowI would agree with that. We blended agile and
waterfall, and found it works well. #prodmgmttalk -4:24 PM Nov 7th, 2011

cindyfsolomon @simplybastow Brandi recognizes you have 7-8 hour time difference which is difficult #prodmgmttalk -
4:24 PM Nov 7th, 2011

indiathink @simplybastow I recommend breaking up your planning sessions into smaller sessions if
possible #agile #prodmgmttalk -4:25 PM Nov 7th, 2011

uberkenny @stanzr It would be nice if the text entry box allowed me to reply to another participant (without mispelling
their name)#prodmgmttalk -4:25 PM Nov 7th, 2011

brainmates RT @uberkenny: @simplybastow I would agree with that. We blended agile and waterfall, and found it
works well.#prodmgmttalk -4:25 PM Nov 7th, 2011

indiathink @simplybastow but agile is proven to be very powerful because of the tight control you have bc of short
windows to verify#prodmgmttalk -4:25 PM Nov 7th, 2011

lmckeogh I'm listening. Very interesting monologue. Meanwhile I am reviewing other web sites #prodmgmttalk -4:26
PM Nov 7th, 2011

roadmapwarrior @indiathink Silly question, but is it better to collaborate during their morning or
yours? #prodmgmttalk -4:26 PM Nov 7th, 2011

roadmapwarrior @lmckeogh Yo #prodmgmttalk -4:26 PM Nov 7th, 2011

uberkenny @brainmates I would agree with that, too.#prodmgmttalk -4:27 PM Nov 7th, 2011

lmckeogh Glad you made it. RT @roadmapwarrior: @lmckeogh Yo#prodmgmttalk -4:27 PM Nov 7th, 2011

cindyfsolomon @lmckeogh Ahhh, multi tasking! You can review the background resources
also http://t.co/ErIsTzf7 #prodmgmttalk -4:28 PM Nov 7th, 2011

uberkenny @indiathink Waterfall gives us the precision that solves some communication issues; agile provides the
frequent checkpoints. #prodmgmttalk -4:28 PM Nov 7th, 2011

brainmates @roadmapwarrior: @indiathink Doesn't really matter whether its your morning or theirs #prodmgmttalk -

taariqlewis Q2 What have you seen in reading email communications from India that confuses you? #prodmgmttalk -
4:31 PM Nov 7th, 2011

uberkenny Funny, the social media "experts" say email is dead. :P#prodmgmttalk -4:32 PM Nov 7th, 2011

lmckeogh Indian preference is to communicate indirectly.#prodmgmttalk -4:32 PM Nov 7th, 2011

cindyfsolomon Welcome into stanzr @Errandmanagers !#prodmgmttalk -4:33 PM Nov 7th, 2011

lmckeogh Indian e-mails are too nice, vaguely worded. hard to truly decipher what is at the heart of the matter. Discern
the story#prodmgmttalk -4:33 PM Nov 7th, 2011

uberkenny @indiathink When I first started working with India 5 yrs ago, hierarchy created a lot of tension in who was
CC'd and who not. #prodmgmttalk -4:33 PM Nov 7th, 2011

cindyfsolomon Brandi Moore says when reading email from India w/story in it, what would you think if heard at cocktail
party?#prodmgmttalk -4:34 PM Nov 7th, 2011

cindyfsolomon Emails from India convey information in an indirect way within a story #prodmgmttalk -4:34 PM Nov 7th,
2011

uberkenny @indiathink Today, not so much. Time working with the team, and visits to India, has broken down
hierarchy barriers.#prodmgmttalk -4:34 PM Nov 7th, 2011

errandmanagers Thanks, we are fans of Stanz ;)RT@cindyfsolomon: Welcome into

cindyfsolomon @uberkenny re: social media "experts" (they want email to be dead) #prodmgmttalk -4:35 PM Nov 7th,
2011

uberkenny @lmckeogh It takes a lot of time to learn to read between the lines. #prodmgmttalk -4:35 PM Nov 7th, 2011

roadmapwarrior @uberkenny @indiathink how often do you as prod mgr visit the team in India? #prodmgmttalk -4:36
PM Nov 7th, 2011

lmckeogh @uberkenny : yes, but it is a skill product managers need to cultivate, that listening skill. #prodmgmttalk -
4:36 PM Nov 7th, 2011

ErikaLAndersen Acc to @indiathink, India places priority on being nice rather than accurate; must read between lines
of emails#prodmgmttalk -4:36 PM Nov 7th, 2011

uberkenny @indiathink Exactly. The longer you work with the team, the more comfortable they
become. #prodmgmttalk -4:36 PM Nov 7th, 2011

when work in different cntry #prodmgmttalk -4:39 PM Nov 7th, 2011

uberkenny @lmckeogh You must do the needful, I suppose.#prodmgmttalk -4:39 PM Nov 7th, 2011

StanzrOne Thank you @roadmapwarrior! iPad buttons may be too small for now. We're working on
that. #prodmgmttalk -4:39 PM Nov 7th, 2011

cindyfsolomon I will be better able to interact with my Indian colleagues via LinkedIn now! #prodmgmttalk -4:41 PM
Nov 7th, 2011

ErikaLAndersen Found that a person's first job out of college influences the work cultures they like #prodmgmttalk -
4:41 PM Nov 7th, 2011

uberkenny @ErikaLAnderson I find that if a person worked for a while outside of India, they have a different
perspective.#prodmgmttalk -4:42 PM Nov 7th, 2011

cindyfsolomon Moving on to question 3 now! #prodmgmttalk -4:42 PM Nov 7th, 2011

uberkenny @ErikaLAndersen I find that if a person worked for a while outside of India, they have a different
perspective.#prodmgmttalk -4:42 PM Nov 7th, 2011

uberkenny Call quality is usually terrible. #prodmgmttalk -4:43 PM Nov 7th, 2011

roadmapwarrior @uberkenny Agreed #prodmgmttalk -4:43 PM Nov 7th, 2011

cindyfsolomon Q3 i.e.,How are calls with India different from US conference calls? #prodmgmttalk -4:43 PM Nov 7th,
2011

cindyfsolomon @uberkenny @Indiathink laughed at your comment!#prodmgmttalk -4:43 PM Nov 7th, 2011

calls? #prodmgmttalk -4:44 PM Nov 7th, 2011

lmckeogh @Indiathink sharing impressions of the back channel dynamics associated w/ conference calls to India &
how to manage it #prodmgmttalk -4:44 PM Nov 7th, 2011

indiathink @lmckeogh Back channel dynamics - that is a perfect way to describe it! #prodmgmttalk -4:45 PM Nov 7th,
2011

uberkenny @indiathink I find people tend to speak very softly. We North Americans are louder and more
obnoxious. #prodmgmttalk -4:45 PM Nov 7th, 2011

_______________________________________________________________________________________________




roadmapwarrior I've noticed a desire to go figure things out offline on their own rather than discussing in depth on the
call#prodmgmttalk -4:46 PM Nov 7th, 2011

lmckeogh RT @indiathink: @uberkenny excellent comment!! Guess who speaks the softest? The
boss... #prodmgmttalk -4:46 PM Nov 7th, 2011

cindyfsolomon @Indiathink the softest speaker has the loudest stick in India - variations of course, but quietist has
most power in room #prodmgmttalk -4:47 PM Nov 7th, 2011

ErikaLAndersen Curious: Does India have Korean Airlines problem? i.e., subordinate rather crash into mountain that
contradict superior? #prodmgmttalk -4:47 PM Nov 7th, 2011

uberkenny @indiathink I also find I need to coax people into speaking. #prodmgmttalk -4:47 PM Nov 7th, 2011

cindyfsolomon @Indiathink says this translates to China as well - softest wields most power #prodmgmttalk -4:48 PM
Nov 7th, 2011

cindyfsolomon @Indiathink says someone loud & direct (US) not necessarily respected #prodmgmttalk -4:48 PM Nov
7th, 2011

cindyfsolomon Once decisions made whether you are to be paid attention, doesn't matter how your behavior
changes#prodmgmttalk -4:49 PM Nov 7th, 2011

uberkenny @indiathink Subordinates who rock the boat tend to create friction with their boss. #prodmgmttalk -4:49 PM
Nov 7th, 2011

indiathink @ErikaLAndersen great question --- this is a power distance problem and yes India has high power
distance.#prodmgmttalk -4:49 PM Nov 7th, 2011

ErikaLAndersen I'm listening #prodmgmttalk -4:49 PM Nov 7th, 2011

cindyfsolomon Its about how a culture manages power - distance betw authority & common people #prodmgmttalk -
4:50 PM Nov 7th, 2011

cindyfsolomon Ex. Norwegian culture - no power distance vs. India "giving & receiving face" like in
China #prodmgmttalk -4:51 PM Nov 7th, 2011

cindyfsolomon "Giving face" is like respect - group is important, authority is revered, unsaid agreement that boss takes
care of workers #prodmgmttalk -4:52 PM Nov 7th, 2011

cindyfsolomon Europe, Australia, US, Canada does biz quite differently than rest of the world (share similar biz
constructs)#prodmgmttalk -4:53 PM Nov 7th, 2011

_______________________________________________________________________________________________




cindyfsolomon In India, don't rock boat - take care of boss, communicate in subtle ways #prodmgmttalk -4:54 PM Nov
7th, 2011

ErikaLAndersen How much does language influence biz constructs? UK/America/Australia vs.
Germany/France/Norway? #prodmgmttalk-4:54 PM Nov 7th, 2011

roadmapwarrior Both if boss is in India or other country? RT@cindyfsolomon: In India, dont rock boat- take care of

of babel.#prodmgmttalk -4:58 PM Nov 7th, 2011

cindyfsolomon @roadmapwarrior Indians will look for typical "boss" behaviors, if don't find will react as if for any
