How to Lead in product Management — A Guide for Aligning Stakeholders and Leading Dev Teams

The insights that Roman offers in his book are most useful for product leaders, however, I believe that any agile leader that wants to better understand how to help their teams get more value out of the agile journey will get great value from reading this book!

I recommend that any Product Manager and or Scrum Product Owner aspiring to get more out of their work with agile teams to deliver higher customer value via better products or services should read Roman's new book "How to Lead in Product Management: Practices to Align Stakeholders, Guide Development Teams, and Create Value Together". Roman describes many specific techniques and helpful practices, e.g. how to interview users, create an effective product strategy and an actionable product roadmap, and prioritize the product backlog. Besides this specific guidance Roman provides a wealth of conceptual explanations as well as a valuable guidance for leadership challenges and opportunities. This is particularly valuable for agile product managers and Scrum product owners that have to leverage other means to influence their teams and stakeholders than direct reporting line responsibilities, annual performance reviews etc. As an agile product leader, you can only benefit from the advantages of the agile way of working if you are fully embracing and acting consistently with and respect the agile practices and principles in the way you work and lead. The insights that Roman offers in his book are most useful for product leaders. Beyond that, I see great value in reading his book for any agile leader that wants to better understand how to help their teams get more value out of the agile journey.
