This session is broadly focused on IBM’s development and management of tape products. Within IBM product management has been distinguished from system management; well into the 1990s product development was the responsibility of a Lab Director whose direct reports would include engineering managers for the various products assigned as well as a Product Manager having one or more subordinates responsible for business aspects of the product.
Today’s session includes a Tucson Lab Director (Teale) and two tape product managers (Levine and Rizzi).
