A Living List Of Product Management Resources You’ll Want To Bookmark

Your Growing Library of Books, Courses, Templates, Podcasts and Tools Essential for Every Product Manager

All successful product managers have one thing in common — they keep learning and absorbing new knowledge to stay up to date with the newest trends in product management.

With that in mind, we recently published a comprehensive Product Management Framework based on our own experience and practices — but also backed up by dozens of knowledge sources we’ve used over the years.

Now, we wanted to share those resources that we’ve used and that have helped us in creating our framework. We’ve sorted through some of the most popular product management resources and compiled a list of books, courses, podcasts, tools and templates that will help busy product managers stay at the top of the game.
