It's out ! My first e-book - Zero To PM : A handy guide for aspiring product managers

My fellow indiehackers, yesterday I launched my first ebook - Zero To PM: A handy guide for aspiring product managers

Ten years ago, when I graduated from college into a software development job, product management was unheard of. The hottest jobs in the tech world around were those of Java developers, DOT NET developers, and System engineers. A couple of years into the job, I remember stumbling the Venn diagram explaining the PM function. That was my primary introduction to Product Management. That was all I knew about product management in the first 5 years of my career.

Cut to 2020, product management has grown tremendously in importance in both start-up as well as the large enterprises, and is one of the most sought-after jobs in tech today. I was fortunate to transition from engineering to product management in 2016 and work within different disciplines of product management. Over the last couple of years, I have also helped a couple of people transition into product management from different functions like support, professional services, engineering, and QA.

Much of what I know today about product management is by trial and error, learning from experienced PMs and consuming PM-related content while hopping from one resource to another. To save my fellow product enthusiasts from this hassle, in the mid of 2020, I built Zero To PM - a curated library of product management resources grouped by key product management topics. After I launched Zero To PM, I made plenty of connections with product enthusiasts who wanted to break into the field of product management. Post my interaction with them, I realised while the role of a PM is highly coveted, it is a brutally difficult one to get into.

I wrote this book to provide aspiring product managers with a consolidated guide filled with the fundamental knowledge and practical, actionable tips to break into product management. In writing this book, I’ve tapped into my learnings as a product manager and my conversations with 50+ seasoned product managers and leaders about their experiences of landing a PM role.

This book contains -

  • Fundamental product management knowledge and resources to build it further.
  • Information about necessary skills and how to develop the PM skill set.
  • Practical tips on how to approach the different paths that lead to product management

Happy to answer any questions that you may have :)
