Product Management Pocket Reference

by Alan Bradley

The dedicated product manager role exists because organisations stopped believing that the people building software were capable of understanding why it should exist. That trust deficit got a job title and a seat in every meeting. The feedback loop that should run directly from user to builder got a node inserted into it. This pocket reference is for engineering teams reclaiming the function: discovery, prioritisation, roadmaps, metrics, stakeholder communication. Not a book about working with PMs. A book about not needing them.
