• The Lean Startup by Eric Ries. One of the worst things a PM can do is build a product that nobody wants. This book shows you how to avoid that by building a minimum viable product and paying attention to the metrics that matter.
• The Innovator’s Dilemma by Clayton M. Christensen. Focusing on disruptive technology, Christensen shows why most companies miss out on new waves of innovation. Whether in electronics or retailing, a successful company with established products will get pushed aside unless managers know when to abandon traditional business practices. Using the lessons of successes and failures from leading companies, The Innovator’s Dilemma presents a set of rules for capitalizing on the phenomenon of disruptive innovation.
• The Design of Everyday Things by Don Norman. From a product designer’s perspective, “I consider this the canonical product design book, and it’s a great place for anyone to start, especially if you don’t already have a background in design. It will show you how to look at the world in terms of design. After reading this book you’ll start to notice good and bad designs all around you.”
• Cracking the PM Interview: How to Land a Product Manager Job in Technology by Gayle Laakmann McDowell and Jackie Bavaro. This is a great overview of what the PM role is, how it looks at different companies, and how to ace interviews, good for both startup or bigger tech company.
