This information is priceless, l have been researching on the Product Manager role recently and l have encountered some of the resources here that have been suggested elsewhere. This article is of course much more in depth and l really appreciate that, it strongly guides one on the right path, l will forever be grateful for that. As a practicing project manager who aspires to be a product manager, the path has been set out for me.

Really informative article. I really enjoy the deep dive and strong takeaways as to which 3 competencies people should have/develop a focus on if they're interested in PMing. Thanks so much for compiling such a detailed list of resources, and also the super neat graphics on competencies for the radar charts :)

I am glad that I stumbled across this article!

I am relatively new to Product Management and have been looking at ways to build my skillset, become more effective, as well as relate better to my team (especially the Dev Team). I going to choose a 'spike' and follow the steps as laid out in your article.

Let the FUN Begin!

×´Aspiring PMs should be fascinated with how engineers write code, how designers decide user flows, and how data scientists build models.×´

I thought I'm just weird being fascinated by every piece of the puzzle that contributes to the 'building' process.

Now I know I'm not alone :)

A good read Will, thought the analogy of a coach and PM was apt and how it is important to enjoy what you are doing
