From the Back Cover

The Product Manager's Handbook is the essential guide to successful product management in today's fast-changing business world. Product and brand managers, as well as upper-level sales, marketing, and branding executives, will find the text thorough and informative as it explains and analyzes the product manager's role in both traditional, hierarchical organizations as well as in newer horizontal, team-driven decision-making structures.

What is a product manager? The overall responsibility of a product manager is to integrate the various segments of a business into a strategically focused whole, maximizing the value of a product by coordinating the production of an offering with an understanding of market needs. A product manager must oversee all aspects of a product or service line in order to create and deliver superior customer satisfaction while simultaneously providing long-term value for the company.

The Product Manager's Handbook covers all of these topics in a convenient, easy-to-follow presentation that includes:



-Hands-on charts for managing every key step, from concept to completion
-Practical checklists for evaluating progress at every critical stage
-Brief profiles in every chapter of specific product management roles, functions, and issues
-Real-world cases illustrating the challenges of product management in action

This thoroughly revised and updated second edition fully integrates the Internet and other digital technologies into the product manager's arsenal of tools. The book includes all new information on what it takes to be a successful product manager. It explains the product manager's role in the planning process (including strategic and operational planning), how to evaluate product portfolios, how to propose and develop successful new products, and more.

The product manager is frequently the source of the entrepreneurial spirit and sense of innovation that drives a successful organization. Learn to make the most of your product management system with this indispensable reference guide.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good for both novices and seniors, 1 May 1998
By A Customer
Product Management is one of those jobs that is different for each product manager, what it is depends on your product and what you make of it. The danger is that when you write about product management, you focus on your specific experience. I found this book to be general enough to be of interest of many, still it was not so highlevel that it did not provide any help. I would recommend this book to everyone who thinks about product management as a next career. I would also recommend it to those who have been in product management for several years, and just want to read what others think about it
