READER REVIEWS
What Early Readers Say
"I was stuck in support thinking I'd never break into PM. This book showed me I already had the customer insights I needed—I just lacked the vocabulary and frameworks. Six months after reading it, I got promoted to PM. Game changer."
Jasmine Patel
Product Manager, SaaS Company, San Francisco
"As an engineer, I thought PM was just meetings and presentations. This book showed me both the traditional path and the Product Engineer model. The frameworks actually make sense now. I'm considering the transition."
Anil Kumar
Senior Engineer, Startup, Berlin
"I was stuck in operations thinking I'd never break into PM. This book gave me the vocabulary and playbooks I was missing. I did the exercises, built a prototype, and landed a PM role. Worth every penny."
Sarah Huang
Product Manager, Ops-to-PM Career Transition
"As a VP Product, I used this book to mentor my junior PMs. It gave them context on the traditional PM frameworks AND the AI-era transformations happening. They're now making better decisions and have clearer career paths."
