About this listen

Product management has become a critical connective role for modern organizations, from small technology startups to global corporate enterprises. And yet the day-to-day work of product management remains largely misunderstood. In theory, product management is about building products that people love. The real-world practice of product management is often about difficult conversations, practical compromises, and hard-won incremental gains.

In this book, author Matt LeMay focuses on the CORE connective skills - communication, organization, research, execution - that can build a successful product management practice across industries, organizations, teams, and toolsets.

For current and aspiring product managers, this book explores:

  • On-the-ground tactics for facilitating collaboration and communication
  • How to talk to users and work with executives
  • The importance of setting clear and actionable goals
  • Using roadmaps to connect and align your team
  • A values-first approach to implementing Agile practices
  • Common behavioral traps that turn good product managers bad

This book tells you about things that are eventually learned through experience and this is what makes it extremely valuable. You can always look at what methodology or lifecycle you can use on the Web, however you need to dig deep and learn on the job to get some of the lessons very well explained in this book.

A great insight into the real work of a PM

The book guides you through many real-world scenarios, provides you with wise approaches in difficult situations, and after all, summarizes the essence of product management. Great content, worth to be read.

I almost didn't download this book because the title was so boring. I'm so glad I did. I don't say this lightly, but this is in my top 10 business books.

The author writes engagingly ( I laughed out loud many times!) and clearly. There's so much to relate to and learn from this book. It should be read far and wide, not just in product management.

Brilliant book

Valuable

I love listening to each chapter. No boring moments. The narrator ever so eloquently conveyed the scenarios with matching expressions through varied intonations and inflections. Because of the delivery, I like this better than the Part 2 edition.

Superb narration and hands down most practical tips ever given
