informative but lacks living examples informative but lacks actual work examples for most of the concepts described。 If this addition is there, the book will be a great reference

This is the first book I've read about product management。 It really explains everything from scratch。 This is the first book I've read about product management。 It really explains everything from scratch。 。。。more

It is one of the best books I had read on Product Management。I had a lot of questions about Product Management how a Product Manager(PM) does the things he does and many others, which I used to ask PMs but after reading it; I have got answers to a lot of those questions。The books tells about the practices used by PMs。 If one is a beginner in this field or want to learn about ins and outs of PM role, one should definitely read this book。

It’s a very good book albeit a bit dry。 Useful read but not really a fun one。

Don't be fooled! This book is not a must-read for product managers!Some books teach you concepts, and some teach practices。 This book leans toward the latter。 The problem with teaching practices is that they are time and context dependant。The book introduces an Optimal Product Process(OOP), which is the centric idea of the book。 But in reality, there is no optimal way to do product development, and many inputs like the stage of the product and company, competition, industry, etc。 affect your pro Don't be fooled!

این کتاب اولین کتابی بود که از سری "فور دامیز" خوندم(انگلیسیش فرمت نوشته رو بهم میریخت :) ) و باید بگم که واقعا کتاب به معنای واقعی کلمه "فور دامیز" بود! نه ازاین جهت که کتاب مفید نبود بلکه کتاب خیلی جامع و با جزییات تمام وجوه یک مدیر محصول رو توضیح داد و شرح وظایف و اختیاراتش رو روشن کرد。البته این اولین کتابی بود که درباره مدیریت محصول خوندم و ممکنه با خوندن کتاب های بیشتر تو این زمینه نظرم درباره کیفیت کتاب متفاوت بشه。در کل کتاب با تشریح جایگاه مدیر محصول در شرکت شروع میشه، تمام بخش هایی که مد این کتاب اولین کتابی بود که از سری "فور دامیز" خوندم(انگلیسیش فرمت نوشته رو بهم میریخت :) ) و باید بگم که واقعا کتاب به معنای واقعی کلمه "فور دامیز" بود! نه ازاین جهت که کتاب مفید نبود بلکه کتاب خیلی جامع و با جزییات تمام وجوه یک مدیر محصول رو توضیح داد و شرح وظایف و اختیاراتش رو روشن کرد。البته این اولین کتابی بود که درباره مدیریت محصول خوندم و ممکنه با خوندن کتاب های بیشتر تو این زمینه نظرم درباره کیفیت کتاب متفاوت بشه。در کل کتاب با تشریح جایگاه مدیر محصول در شرکت شروع میشه، تمام بخش هایی که مدیر محصول باهاش باید همکاری کنه رو توضیح میده و یکم هم درباره مدیریت افراد و منابع انسانی توضیح میده。این کتاب از این نظر عالیه که به نظرم حتی اگر کسی پیش زمینه خیلی ضعیفی از نحوه کار و اصظلاحات این حوزه داشته باشه، با خوندنش اون مفاهیم رو هم تا حد قابل قبولی متوجه میشه。آدینه 12 اردیبهشت 1399 。。。more

Не стоило затраченного времени3/5 - соотношение пользы к затраченному времени。Рассказывает о работе продукт менеджера, какие у него обязанности и за чем он должен следить。Если бы она была раза в три меньше я бы её посоветовал прочитал для кругозора。 А так - знаний особых не даёт, идей свежих не нашел, слишком растянута。 Если только по диагонали и то непонятно для кого

It was an good book on Product Management, and written especially for those new to the field。 I only gave it 4 stars because it was dry and hard to get through。

Nilesh Patil

Shares good enough information。 It is indeed a book for dummies but I found that it also shares lot of unnecessary information that you may not be interested in。

Completísimo curso de Gestión de Productos consistente en su formato, material de soporte y didactismo tradicional de la colección "for dummies"。 Incluye el ciclo de vida del producto, descubrimiento, evaluación y planoficación, construcción del producto desde idea a retirada, y cómo convertirse en un gran Director de Producto。 Completísimo curso de Gestión de Productos consistente en su formato, material de soporte y didactismo tradicional de la colección "for dummies"。 Incluye el ciclo de vida del producto, descubrimiento, evaluación y planoficación, construcción del producto desde idea a retirada, y cómo convertirse en un gran Director de Producto。 。。。more

It's a good thorough book on basics of PM。 Covers most of areas。 I wish it had something on UX as well。 Maybe a bit too much details on the documentation (could move this to appendix)。 I think the worst about this book is the name itself and the series where it appeared。 The whole idea of a professional reading something related to his field of expertise named "for dummies" is embarrassing。 It shouldn't matter as long as the information is useful but in terms of perception I don't think anything It's a good thorough book on basics of PM。 Covers most of areas。 I wish it had something on UX as well。 Maybe a bit too much details on the documentation (could move this to appendix)。 I think the worst about this book is the name itself and the series where it appeared。 The whole idea of a professional reading something related to his field of expertise named "for dummies" is embarrassing。 It shouldn't matter as long as the information is useful but in terms of perception I don't think anything beneficial for the authors。 To rephrase something the authors write in the book, you wouldn't want someone performing a surgery on you who read "surgery for dummies"。 。。。more

It's a dummies book so covers a wide spectrum at a shallow depth。 Yet it doesn't give you a do this then that list of responsibilities and tasks。 The 3 stars are for the breadth of subjects it covers and the last few chapters of 'gotchas'。 You will get a good understanding of why a PM role is, not necessarily exactly what you should be doing。 It's a dummies book so covers a wide spectrum at a shallow depth。 Yet it doesn't give you a do this then that list of responsibilities and tasks。 The 3 stars are for the breadth of subjects it covers and the last few chapters of 'gotchas'。 You will get a good understanding of why a PM role is, not necessarily exactly what you should be doing。 。。。more

Great overview of the many aspects of product management The authors cover a broad scope of topics in everyday language with lots of checklists and templates。 Beyond the product topics, they explore different roles and titles as well as a nice chapter on planning your own career path。 A great intro for the new product manager。
