Hi there! 
Welcome, thanks for subscribing to my newsletter. I’ve been thinking about starting some product management related side projects for a while, and I think a newsletter is a great place to start. 
In this first issue I’ll be covering some of my favourites and timeless classics about product management and its core principles.

Back to Product Management Basics...
What, exactly, is a Product Manager?
What, exactly, is a Product Manager?
Back to the basics with this article. For me, Martin Eriksson’s article is where it all started, where the pieces fell into place and everything clicked. A must read for any product manager of any level (always good to re-read this one once in a while too)

How to setup a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) – The Startup
How to setup a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) – The Startup
Recently I’ve been revisiting the topic of MVP and how to clearly define and articulate the concept to teammates and stakeholders. I found this thorough and in-depth article by George Krasadakis super useful.

What People Don’t Tell You About Product Management
What People Don’t Tell You About Product Management
This is a bit of a long read (15 mins) but its worth it. Jason Shene really covers some of the nitty gritty details of what product management is all about, including the emotional tax the job entails.

Why Products Fail
Why Products Fail
I thought this was a pretty good analysis of why products (and startups) fail, and what signals to look out for when your product might be heading down the wrong path.

This article from Josh Elman is more of a presentation slide dump. The slides clearly explain what exactly product managers do.

Focusing on People and Product: the intersection of psychology and product management.

After working in product for over a decade and speaking to many other product mangers (as well as UXers, growth people, marketers and techies) the number one struggle I heard again and again is that people are at the root of the majority of the problems.

Once you have mastered the basics of product management. Once you have read all the books. After you’ve been to all the conferences. You’ve seen all the YouTube videos; you’re a member of all the Slack communities. Then you are only left with learning how to lead, work with and manage other people, to get them all aligned and pointing in the same direction, so you can build your product vision and ultimately build a successful product.

This art of People & Product can take decades to master. I’m certainly not a master of this yet, but I thought you might enjoy following along on my journey. Want in?
