When you can’t pound down a half dozen books on PM, you can pound down one that has it all: The Product Book. So far I've learned all the basics from product lifecycle, process flows to product metrics. The reality is that resources for PMs are scant and this book is a valuable resource for anyone who wants to start building GREAT products.
I recommend this book to any aspiring product manager looking for industry insider's perspective to start, develop, sell and promote a new product in today's fast-changing business world. 😄
I work in marketing with an analytical background and learning about business. My profile is very similar to a PM, but I didn't know what a PM does or needs.
This book was like a holy slap that helped me to understand what I've to do know and how to do it.
Although it's not my current position, I deal with PMs and PM requests on a regular basis. This book has made me understand much more what the role entails, aiding me enormously in my daily job. There's plenty of practical examples and you can feel that insights are based on actual business experiences.
This book really makes PMing sound like an appealing (albeit challenging!) career choice. Who knows? Maybe I'll become interested in Product Management in the future!
(Plus: the digital copy is free! No harm in trying it out.)
This is actually the first thing that has caught my attention when doing product hunt. Looking forward to reading through the rest of it tonight.
I first came to the Product Book with a passion for innovation but knowing little about how great products actually get made. After having read the book, I'm able to think like a Product Manager and have clear, step by step strategies for brining my ideas to life. Would heartily recommend this book to anyone with a passion for creating good products or leading teams.
This book is a very helpful resource for anyone who wants to become great at product management. There's something inside for everyone, irrespective of your level as a product manager. Always my first recommendation when asked by anyone. Well done @villaumbrosia, you out did yourself on this one 👏👏
This book is a helpful guide to product management, in particular for who want to become a product manager.
Overall, this is an excellent resource for any PM. I downloaded the PDF to Notability on my iPad so I can go through the entire book and make custom notes and annotations. They add plenty of space in the margins to take notes. Would highly recommend for any one interested in learning more about product management.
