Recommendations for top product management books? Either "how to" books or just ones that will make me better.<p>Current favorite is "Inspired" by Marty Cagan.
I've been 'product managing' for 4 years now in NYC and haven't found very many books useful. Here are a few:<p>-Getting Real / Rework (37 signals) - Build a lean product<p>-Don't Make Me Think - Usability 101<p>-Web Analytics 2.0 - Metrics are your best friend<p>-Viral Loop - Great companies and how they did it<p>-Delivering Happiness - Last 50 pages are phenomenal for building your company's "culture"
Check out Blackblot's new book on Product Management "The Product Manager’s Toolkit". In adition You'll find some good reading in this field on the following resource page <a href="http://bit.ly/9qOjwB" rel="nofollow">http://bit.ly/9qOjwB</a>
"the art of project management", Scott Berkun. From O'reilly media.<p>This book is gold. but when berkun said that the job is essentially just creating/updating lists for people, i liked my job less and the book more.
