Playbook: Product

Playbook: Product

One of the per-function entries in Kyle’s Playbooks collection — a running attempt to assemble operating playbooks by discipline. The product playbook is, so far, a curated reading queue toward Product Management craft rather than a synthesized framework. The links Kyle saved in his June 29th, 2021 Roam “Quick Capture” log cluster around a recognizable PM canon: Ken Norton’s Bring the Donuts essays (how to work with software engineers, what a product manager does, leading cross-functional teams — Kyle also tags this set Best-in-Class Tech Stacks), Paul Graham’s essays (maker’s schedule, “do things that don’t scale,” how to get startup ideas), Joel Spolsky on software inventory, and two foundational books — Christensen’s The Innovator’s Solution and Ben Horowitz’s The Hard Thing About Hard Things. It sits alongside Playbook: Growth and Playbook: Sales under Playbooks.
