If someone was getting into Product Management today, what resources would you point them towards, so that they have a toolkit and understand the job? ie The Lean Startup. Jobs to Be Done.

In no particular order: -Customer interviews. Atlassian has a good primer https://www.atlassian.com/team-playbook/plays/customer-interview -Invest time in understanding engineer counterparts communication styles and preferred ways to organize work (assuming tech PM). Not a resource per se but, in my experience, one of the highest leverage uses of time when starting as a PM. -Continuous Discovery. I like product talk's guide https://www.producttalk.org/2021/08/product-discovery/ -Wardley maps for all products under management https://learnwardleymapping.com/ -Agile development and user stories (even if these aren't used on tickets for eng, I've found user story writing as a forcing function to reinforce I understand the user persona, what problems they're trying to solve, etc). https://www.atlassian.com/agile/project-management/user-stories -Jump into vibe coding

Here are a few hundred posts on a variety of product topics: https://www.mvwi.co/writing/product-resources A little dated now, perhaps, but the bits that are still around are also the bits worth reading The most valuable advice I can give beyond these^ is that product is an apprenticeship skill — the biggest determinant of how quickly you learn is who you're learning from so tell whoever is asking to choose their peer group well

I like the books disciplined entrepreneurship and running lean, “when coffee and kale compete” is also good. this course is good on udemy to go from zero to 1, I used it back in the day to get up to speed (got a background in project mgmt. and found it really helpful): https://www.udemy.com/course/become-a-product-manager-learn-the-skills-get-a-job/?couponCode=PMNVD1525

1. Start here: https://www.founderstribune.org/p/letter-to-a-new-product-manager-by-brian-armstrong 2. Understand what product design solves for. 3. Understand how engineers think. 4. Learn how to talk to customers and when to listen or ignore their feedback. (Going to pull in resources for each when I get some extra time)
