Product Management Digest 8

2014 May 27, by David Kim



PM Reading Digest

Your weekly product management reading. Not too much, not too little, just right.

Find something from this reading you can apply, and try it out in your daily practice - in personal life or at work. In that hands-on spirit, we are hosting another product teardown exercise with team Yammer, this time comparing Flickr and Carousel photo sharing apps - we will post the deck to Slideshare.

Advice for Women in Product Management

Michelle L. Harper

“Women are often reluctant to own data but own it they must. It levels the playing field and frees them from charges of focusing on the “softer side” of tech.”


The Art of Product Management

Ian Kennedy

“PMs need to be entrepreneurs. Faced with a limited amount of resources, you need do whatever it takes to get things done. This often means you need to think creatively.”

Andrew Chen

“One of the most compelling organizational things I’ve read about lately is Square’s practice of referring to their product team as Product Editors and the product editorial team, rather than the traditional “Product Management” title.”

Ashli Norton
