This book both introduced me to what a PM is and showed me that I already am one in my role at my company. And it opened my eyes to a few new directions and inspired some ideas.
Inspired by Marty Cagan is the best book on product management I've ever read, despite its corny name.
For my work "Inspired" from Marty Cagan has been such an eye opener!
As a software engineer, I've come to really love how good products are built and how to explore new markets. While I don't think it's a life-changing book, it's certainly a good read and I'd recommend it to any engineer that wants to be more product-focused (also Inspired, Creativity Inc, and Zero to One)
Anyone interested in product management shoulder read "INSPIRED: How to Create Tech Products Customers Love" by Marty Cagan.
Inspired by Marty Cagan - again, love nuts and bolts process books.
Try to go beyond engineering and learn more about business and product design, which will help you prioritize engineering decisions. Some product-related books: Inspired by Cagan and Well-Designed by Kolko.
