Cracking the PM Career: The Skills, Frameworks, and Practices to Become a Great Product Manager Review: Great book that will help you as a PM and as a person - I started as software engineer out of college where I have great ambition but no direction in the software tech industry. Gayle McDowell's book serves as a torch guiding the unknown path for me. By reading her books i can start seeing more clearly what is around me (where i am standing) as well as a grand passage of what the journey looks like down the road and how to improve myself in order to progress forward. "Cracking the PM Career" is just an amazing resource work done by Jackie Bavaro and Gayle Laakmann McDowell I have been in industry for 15 years now (SWE converted Product Manager), while i have accumulate knowledge & scars along the way as a Product Manager Lead at Meta. I find it still incredibly helpful to read their books to fill my gaps and extend well-rounded knowledge. The latest publish shares a lot great knowledge that will help you to be a even greater product manager. I strongly recommend this book to others wether you are an aspiring PM or already a PM, or PM Leader to refine yourself throughout reading! Review: Would have paid 10x to have this when starting out - This book is the best Product Management book I've come across. I'm mid to late stage career. Have been co-founder or VP level at several companies. Have lead PM at several startups with successful exits. And with all those decades of experience, there was still good new stuff - to me - in here to learn, and great refreshers on other items. As I read the book, I couldn't help thinking of the cliche about "if I'd only known this starting out." I definitely could have used these insights. (Of course, some things are 'sign of the times' specific... there was no "Agile" as it exists today. But that's not so much the point as compared to just having a better starting framework for what does exist in the now; whatever those things may be.) It might be that some things don't really hit home until you have the experience, even if you got the book learning. But still, at least you have a better sense of things if you've been exposed to the concepts. This is not a full "Body of Knowledge" (BOK) type work. But it is just full of practical sensible, "this is what you may be facing" type scenarios. New or junior PMs... just get this. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #223,166 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #63 in Job Interviewing (Books) #137 in Job Hunting (Books) #329 in Job Hunting & Career Guides | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (430) | | Dimensions | 7 x 1.25 x 10 inches | | ISBN-10 | 0984782893 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0984782895 | | Item Weight | 2.27 pounds | | Language | English | | Part of series | Cracking the Interview & Career | | Print length | 551 pages | | Publication date | January 26, 2021 | | Publisher | CareerCup | ## Images ![Cracking the PM Career: The Skills, Frameworks, and Practices to Become a Great Product Manager - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61ytrkspHnL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great book that will help you as a PM and as a person *by B***N on March 20, 2022* I started as software engineer out of college where I have great ambition but no direction in the software tech industry.
