This read more as a how to get into product management / what to expect when transitioning into product management guide than I expected from the description and title. I was reading it as a UX practitioner and leader looking to better collaborate with my product counterparts, not as someone who wants to become a PM. That said, I appreciated the more tactical chapters on metrics, revenue, and roadmaps.

Book club book for work. I had a lot of issues with it, but my spicy views meant that we had a lot of good discussions, so I think it all worked out.

Having recently joined a product team, I am glad I read this. It empowers me to build empathy for our product management and in turn, collaborate for better outcomes.
I was chuffed to see the (fictional) prioritisation placed making the website accessible in the low effort and high impact quadrant, and landed in the now section of the roadmap.

Pretty light - best suited for beginners in Product and/or UX Design.
Some useful concepts & tools that you'll find in it:
UX & Product Histogram, examples of Product Experiments, distinctions between a Product Roadmap and a Launch Plan + the idea of cross-training for developing skills.

Cross-pollination. I’m a designer and this book gave me a better understanding of what that transition could look like.

As Stevo’s Novel Ideas, I am a long-time book reviewer, member of the media, an Influencer, and a content provider. I received this book as a free review copy from either the publisher, a publicist, or the author, and have not been compensated for reviewing or recommending it.
This book was Stevo's Business Book of the Week for the week of 4/3, as selected by Stevo's Book Reviews on the Internet and Stevo's Novel Ideas. Crumlish demystifies product management for UX practitioners who want to understand, partner with, and even become product managers.
Let's face it, if we work with products in any way, we are now product managers, so Crumlish's book comes at a great time. Defining a product manager as someone whose core responsibility is creating/sustaining/increasing product value, Crumlish notes that UX research and design practices are a superpower of product management and shows how combining the two practices can provide company value. Note, though, that the focus of the book is from UX to PM, and not the other way around.

It was a difficult read-don’t know why, but I can’t finish this book in more than 2 weeks. And stopped within last 20% -too many better books are waiting.
The subject-intersection of UX and PM-is enough for a blog post, too long for a book.
I also do not understand the value of interviews with multiple PMs, as most of them are like “What do you do in the morning? Meetings. What do you do at noon? Lunch at the desk…”🤪

I went into this book hoping to learn as a UX professional how to better work and collaborate with my PM partners. The book was actually about how to transition from a UX career to a PM career, but it still provided valuable insight into the complexities of a PM role and how they operate.

Gave a thorough description of product management, qualities GOOD ONES have and convinced me that I do not want to be a product manager.
