Product management is a big role, and this a big book.


From the authors of the best-selling Cracking the PM Interview comes the comprehensive guide to the skills, frameworks, and practices to become a great product manager. It will help you level-up your skills and career from your first product management role through product leadership, addressing questions like:


  • What does it take to become a great product manager and great leader?
  • How can you reliably ship products that make a difference in the world?
  • How do you build your product intuition, hone your execution, strengthen your leadership, and develop your strategic skills?
  • What does it take to lead and inspire teams?
  • When is people management the right career move?
  • How does excellence in those skills translate into career success?


This book will teach you the reliable frameworks and best practices that improve your chances of shipping a successful product. The frameworks won't transform you into a great product manager overnight or guarantee that your products never fail, but they'll help you avoid the most common problems and give you the structure to start experimenting, reflecting, and improving.


You'll learn how to:

  • Design high-quality products that delight users and solve people's needs.
