Simple Lessons I learned as a Product Manager

I recently gave a talk at Product School about soft skills. I talked about the simple lessons I have learned over the years. In retrospect, they all feel like common sense.

Everything I read on my way to a Product Management role

After more than a decade writing code, I was ready for a change. In my case, the intersection of my skills and passion pointed towards product management. Books have always been my go-to to learn about a new topic. So, I scoured the web for the best books I could read about product management.

I hope you find them useful and wish you good luck with your personal journeys into product.
