Product management is one of the most exhausting, exhilarating, stressful, and rewarding careers out there. Its not for the faint of heart. Its for people who want to move mountains. It swallows some whole, but others derive endless invigoration and passion from the pace and the impact and the glory and the huge potential for failure as well as success. Theres no other job like it, and this is a book to help you make it your job.The role of a product manager goes by many different names and if thats not reason enough to be confused, some companies define product manager completely differently from how its understood elsewhere. We sometimes get stuck in our quest to define the damn thing, but in the case of product management, its effort well spent, because its quite the jungle out there.
