Sep 16, Maria Lasprilla rated it it was ok Shelves: I gave it 2 stars because, after all, I finished it, Though there is some useful content, particularly for people new to Product Management, it is very poorly written: Overall, it is an OK book to give a new person in the role an overview of what the role entails. If you are not new t I gave it 2 stars because, after all, I finished it, Though there is some useful content, particularly for people new to Product Management, it is very poorly written: If you are not new to it, you might was well scan the titles of each section and go research elsewhere for actual substance.

It does a good job in mapping the areas of knowledge and skills a PM must have, and also invites you to self-assess and evaluate where you want to improve in, as well as how your career can develop, which is a question a lot of PMs ask ourselves. There's also a useful template in Chapter 6 for PM teams to assess themselves and identify areas of improvement which is always a good thing to do. You can guess the interest of the author in the soft skills as those topics are better written, although he does mention he is against making a division between soft and hard skills as they're actually intertwined.

I have to agree with that. A funny coincidence was to see he compared the PM role to that of an orchestra director which a colleague and I did as well recently while trying to use a familiar role to explain people what we do. Overall, if you have some experience in Product Management and you generally feel like you know what you are doing, don't read this book. But if you have no clue and want to know the basics, plus can stand repetitive language, then go for it. Jun 16, Ernest Sneed rated it really liked it Shelves: An excellent overview of the responsibilities and challenges of the product manager.

This book best serves a recent college graduate or person who will be starting as a new product manager. It provides a protocol of activities to accomplish to "hit the ground running" and not get lost in the first few months of the new job. Feb 07, Eugene Belkin rated it really liked it.

Good overview of various frameworks and approaches about establishing yourself as an effective product manager, whether new or rising in the field. At times, the book is redundant and covers superfluous topics but the first half kept me page turning through a discussion of initial impressions and understandings. Oct 23, Mihai Rosca rated it it was amazing Shelves: The first "wow" is because, when looking for PM book guides, I didn't find much that fit my needs and that was worth buying.

I was very disappointed to see that this domain isn't covered properly, despite the increasing demand for good people overseeing complex products. The second "wow" is for reading this book and finding it's just what the doctor ordered. Although I really like it, I'm trying to be as objective as I can here.

That being said, I think that if you are currently in a Wow! That being said, I think that if you are currently in a situation where you need to be a product shepherd and have no clue how to do that, this is gold. Probably not so much for a startup, though. There are different rules altogether in a startup. I think that if you want to be a PM for one, especially a software producing company, you would be better off by learning entrepreneurship and learning the market and the customer by heart.

But then again, that's not exactly a Product Manager anymore, as more of a full blown entrepreneur with everything that comes along. Anyway, I believe the title is befitting to it. There is a lot of responsibility on the shoulders of a PM and, without guidance, it can quickly become overwhelming. Especially that, as the author states, Most PMs find themselves in this role without being ready for what it means.

Think of it as a manual. Take it step by step, practice it, take notes, take small actions derived from it and end up by send a thank you note to Steven Haines in the end. And best of luck to you! If you're looking for books like these, you need it! Nov 11, Carla rated it really liked it. As recent college graduate I found this very useful as I could relate with the situations and challenges portayed. It is an easy and quick read that will help you understand where you are and the kind of work that might be expected from you.

It also offers a summary of the steps you need to take and things you need to learn to start being functional when there is not a structured training offered and a lot of information to absorb.
