“…It means that no new information or viewpoint is gained from new subjects (Strauss and Corbin, 2008;Runeson and Höst, 2009). The concept of saturation was used in all three studies to ensure that they have managed to achieve it Maglyas and Fricker, 2014). It was done to ensure that the selected studies are suitable for their inclusion into a meta-ethnography.…”

“…The first study investigates PM activities in 13 companies in depth, whereas the second study summarizes existing PM activities in hundreds of companies worldwide. The third study (Maglyas and Fricker, 2014) evaluates PM activities based on the practical experience of PM professionals. The meta-ethnography approach applied to these studies has allowed us to focus on the common SPM activities adopted in the studied companies.…”

Purpose Software product management (SPM) unites disciplines related to product strategy, planning, development, and release. There are many organizational activities addressing technical, social, and market issues when releasing a software product. Owing to the high number of activities involved, SPM remains a complex discipline to adopt. The purpose of this paper is to understand what are the core and supporting SPM activities. Design/methodology/approach The authors adopted the research method of meta-ethnography to present a set of techniques for synthesizing individual qualitative studies to increase the degree of conceptualization. The results obtained from three empirical studies were synthesized using the meta-ethnography approach to enhance, rethink, and create a higher level abstraction of the findings. Findings The results show that the study has both theoretical and practical contribution. As the meta-ethnography synthesis has not been widely applied in software engineering, the authors illustrate how to use this research method in the practice of software engineering research. The practical contribution of the study is in the identification of five core and six supporting SPM activities. Originality/value The practical value of this paper is in the identification of core SPM activities that should be present in any company practicing SPM. The list of supporting SPM consists of activities that are not reported to product manager but affect the product success.

“…Product planning executes product strategy with the help of roadmapping, release planning, and requirements management processes [14]. Hence, decisions regarding if, and what parts of the product should be based on OSS concerns executive management and the software product management (SPM) as they usually oversee the product strategy [40], but also the development organization as they, together with SPM, oversee the product planning and development.…”
