Publisher's summary

"No one asked you to show up." Every experienced product manager has heard some version of those words at some point in their career. Think about a company. Engineers build the product. Designers make sure it has a great user experience and looks good. Marketing makes sure customers know about the product. Sales get potential customers to open their wallets to buy the product. What more does a company need? What does a product manager do?

Based upon Product School’s curriculum, which has helped thousands of students become great product managers, The Product Book answers that question. Filled with practical advice, best practices, and expert tips, this audiobook is here to help you succeed!

Product School offers product management classes taught by real-world product managers, working at renowned tech companies like Google, Facebook, Snapchat, Airbnb, LinkedIn, PayPal, Netflix, and more. The classes are designed to fit into your work schedule, and they're offered online and in 15 campuses worldwide.

Good and comprehensive, just a little weak on hardware or equipment

As a product manager, I loved the comprehensive structure and examples. Heavy focus on software.

Struggled to listen to it Book covers mostly just the basics and the robotic voice makes listening difficult.

Not finished but I noticed..

Thanks for creating an audible for The Product Book. I noticed that the Titles pages do not have chapter titles named. For instance, when I select to view the titles or table of contents, there are no chapter names listed.

A good introduction to Product Management

Being a product manager for the last 7 years, I didn't think I was going to learn anything new and I didn't. However, what it did do was refresh my ideas of handling different scenarios that I have either been slacking on or admittedly out right complacent in.

I recommend this for anyone aspiring to be, just started, or like me thrown into Product Management. It will help you dig up reasons "why" and help you create a process - especially if nobody is teaching you the process.

Paired with the "Personal MBA" by Josh Kaufman you will feel a lot more enriched, especially if you do not have an MBA.

A poor audio book option

The narration is very poor and the book does not translate well to the audio format. The book itself may be good, but it was unlistenable.

Very basic

If you aspire to be a product manager and have never read any other book on the subject, this might be for you.
