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.

Concise practical advice

I went into this expecting a dense textbook detailing the ins and outs of product management. Instead, it was lighter, full of stories and anecdotes that helped make the advice sticky.

While the content boiled down to a few key points (Communication, Organization, Research, Execution), the presentation made this a pleasant read. The repetition through different contexts helped really drive in those key points.

Overall, this was valuable for my own practice as well as for building a better vocabulary about what product management REALLY is. Goal achieved.
