Easily the best book on Product Management I've ever read. Extremely clear and actionable steps to set up a team to build innovative tech products.

This is the holy book for product management. So informative. After reading this and taking extensive notes, I feel so much more confident in my understanding of what GOOD product management is.

Only downside is it's pretty repetitive. But it really reinforces the takeaways.

This book is really, really useful. I would really call this a design book. Designers should really have this book handy. Marty explains in detail how a product organization should work to accomplish success in their business - and the processes and techniques are something that I am no stranger to, but I wished he would go a bit more in detail to the discovery techniques - something UX designers have been doing for a long time also.

Marty Cagan provides a high level overview of Product Management best practices and culture, but only occasionally offers more detailed examples of those ideals in practice. By Inspired's end, the best practices began to feel repetitive and the examples rather limited in their breadth. For the numerous times Cagan mentions these practices at different levels of scale, the examples drew only from large companies.

There's material for me to reflect on and discuss with my own product team, but Inspired still left many of my initial questions unanswered.

Great practical handbook on how to create innovative products by leveraging the role of the product owner and highly effective teams. There are many examples of what works and what does not work in highly successful companies. I found the product discovery section the most useful since this is a topic that is not easily covered in traditional business handbooks.
