The best thing about being in product management: The helpful community of folks sharing their learning and experiences.
Oh, so many blogs and so little time! Here are my top five favorite blogs.
1. Reforge - easy digest of complexity
The Reforge’s blog is curated by some of the most remarkable product minds from Silicon Valley, who are not hesitant to challenge the status quo. Start with this piece on whether the lean start-up framework is problematic or not .
2. Department of Product - for practical advice
Hands down the most practical blog for the PM out there. From technical topics to self-development there is a wealth of solid content. This piece on writing release notes is a fantastic example and will take you far in your PM career.
3. Bring the Donuts - just legendary!
The brainchild of PM rockstar Ken Norton - who took Google to the hands of 3 billion users - is full of humor, and in-depth product knowledge. You will love his book recommendations for this year.
4. Product Coalition - best consolidated content
The most impressive collection of top-knowledge curated PM material out there! Updated quite often, you will also find a dedicated podcast along with an extensive library of Medium articles. You will like this piece on product strategy.
5. Silicon Valley Product Group - honest take on product management
Want to go in-depth with Marty Cagan and other Silicon Valley bigwigs? This is the place. You will definitely feel inspired by reading this manifesto.
