This is too much of a Pendo commercial

I have tried Pendo, it's good. But that's not why I wanted this book. There is a big focus on repeating the same points and not a good enough overview of the actual theory and method for me. Maby this will work for you, but for me this was simply a commercial with some cunsulteeese speak.

Practical advice on becoming product-led

This is a good book with lots of practical advice and suggestions on becoming product-led

Awesome

I found this book concise and insightful. Super helpful for those beginning a new product journey.

Good read, no big discoveries

The book walks you through the world of product management and does a good job to help product people make better use of data (collecting, analyzing, and using).
The occasional references to Pemdo are elegantly done and don’t pollute the writing.
If you are seeking to acquire new ideas on how to push your organization to become more product centric you will get quite some value.
If you’re willing to learn more about the product management role you’ll find it valuable only if you are a beginner.

Really informative product process

I believe any product organization could benefit from this read. Our entire product, design and engineering team is currently reading it to make use of the principles.

A book I Will Listen To Many Times

As a Learning and Development professional for a cloud-based company , I went into this book fully believing the content related to my day-to-day working life but even with that expectation I was still taken aback by how much this changed my view of my role. It has fundamentally altered how I see myself serving both my company and my learner's.
