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

Advice and experience applicable to the real world

My only regret so far about listening to this is that I didn't do this sooner. To be honest, I think I will replay it in the years to come to make sure I implement all the little nuggets of advice, particularly around attitude to decision makers and the business as a whole.

Great insight into the life of a Product Manager

This was great to listen to, lots of insights into the life of a Product Manager and the complexities involved.
It's a shame that only a surface level understanding of Scrum was utilised (e.g. a Product Manager canceling the Daily Scrum because the "3 questions" were ineffective, rather than the person responsible for process ensuring that it was conducted in a way that was valuable for the team).
Overall though, well worth listening to 👍
