  • Immensely helpful… I have recently been placed into a product management role and can’t tell you how valuable this book has been in helping me move forward effectively and efficiently in my new role.

  • Just the right book I was looking for… This is a great book. Greg did a great job in taking a product manager like me from beginning to end of a PLM. The best part is that this book does not talk only about processes and methodologies but it also takes the reader on a journey that Sean takes as a product manager. Thank you Greg.
