Product managers are creators of vision, strategy, design, products, services, and, ultimately, value. They must be equally comfortable with everything and everyone they work with, including engineering, sales, marketing, finance, and legal, and of course, customers and partners. A well-rounded product manager has a deep understanding of the product and the market. They must see the forest and the trees.

This book covers the whole gamut of product management: it starts by discussing core skills such as effective communication, continues with basic tasks like backlog management, and covers key topics like finding the right product to build. On top of that, it discusses the broader scope of work that product managers are involved in, including hiring, team management, sales, and marketing.

The book will guide you along the roller-coaster ride of the product life cycle and walk you through the ups and downs of the journey. It consists of short and mostly independent chapters describing best practices and pointing out pitfalls to avoid. The sum total provides a clear sense of how to do product management right and how to become an effective product leader.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent description of what product management involves and the traits a PM should posses.

I've been a product manager and product marketer. I was recently talking to a colleague in the profession about the problems with growth in the product management function, and I read through Yair Jay Harel's book on product leadership. I'd purchased it a while back but hadn't gotten around reading it.

I think this is a must read for everyone wanting to be a product manager. Indeed many experienced product managers, and the CEOs that hire them could do with this refresher. Many books focus on the processes and procedures that PMs must follow.This one focuses on defining the function and what it takes to be an effective PM.

Really good.
Got a bit sad when I read that the book was more for software product manager and I am not in the software field. But in the end, all made sense and I could apply pretty much all of the same principles.
