Monki Gras 2017: Stephen O’Grady – The Power of Convenience

RedMonk co-founder Stephen O’Grady kicks off Monki Gras 2017 with a great talk about the power and importance of convenience in product management. He argues that the more feature rich platform rarely wins, but rather the most convenient one does. Examples range from blocks of ice to Postgres vs MySQL to apt-get to permissive license adoption in open source, Salesforce vs Siebel, and of course Amazon Web Services Cloud destroying the hardware business.
