The No Bullshit Guide to Product Management goes step by step through the planning and development process for building a software product.
There are lots of books out there that started great, but were padded out to create a tome that won’t fall over on a shelf and can be sold for twenty bucks. This isn’t one of those. There’s no filler material, no pointless repetition and no jargon.
Here’s what’s inside:
- How to prepare before starting.
- The step-by-step process of building a product.
- Iterating to make your product better.
- How best to work with every member of a product team.
Should I read this book?
You should get this book if:
- You’re already in or about to start a product manager role building software – something on the web, or for a mobile or embedded device. (If you work in consumer goods or any other industry, try something else.)
- You don’t have the time or patience for a fat textbook.
- You cringe at words like synergy, vision and “action” as a verb.
Can I get a sample?
Sure thing. If you like it, come back and buy the book.
Where can I get it?
The No Bullshit Guide to Product Management is a Kindle eBook, available for your Kindle and your iPhone / iPad / Android via the Kindle app.
Can I get a buy a physical copy? I can’t be doing with all of this new fangled technology.
Not yet, but if I get a few requests I’ll make it happen.
Hey Shahid,
Hope you’re doing great!! How’s London treating you? Any plans of going to Wikia now that Jimmy Wales will be running a London office?
Just came across your book and am excited to read it. I don’t have a Kindle, is it possible to buy a printed copy or e-book?
Ok hear soon.

Hi Shahid – If there is a possibility to get a PDF or paper copy, I’d also be interested!
Hi Dave – I’ll drop you a note.
Hi Shahid,
I would be very happy if you could provide a pdf copy. I don’t own a Kindle and an iPhone is just simply not designed for reading books.
Best regards,
Misha
Hey Misha – I’ll drop you a note.
Shahid,
I just wanted to drop you a note and let you know that I enjoyed the book very much. The book lives up to the title. It was full of good, basic advice for any product manager. I would love to know if you are planning on another book.
Thanks
William
William – thank you for the kind note, I’m glad you found it useful. I’ll definitely be writing some more in the future.
