Software Product Management: Managing Software ... (ISBN 1587622025)

too shallow:
i spend some time to read the book. the book is too simple.I don't get valuable knowledge from it. Maybe it is suitable for the guys who have few experience in IT company. It will waste your time to peruse the book if you have some experience in software company. I'm rather disappoint at the book. I don't understand why AMAZON top the book in the product management list.

Not much writing, large font and little value:
For whatever reason, the makers of this book felt the need to use a pretty large font, and lots of margin space. Reading 20 pages took no time at all and I think I finished the whole book in perhaps 1 hr. The contents were pretty much common sense, nothing terribly useful beyond confirming my thinking about being a PM before buying this book.

Great Insights into the Software Development Process:
Having been in software for the last 20 years at Sun, Novell and Microsoft, I was at first a bit skeptical about this book. However, after reading it, I would highly recommend it to both novice and experienced software professionals - all the way from programmers to developers to marketers to sales to management. This is a great reference on how the whole process works and how you can add value. A must read for anyone in the software business.

Pretty bad:
The book is just a bunch of rambling by the author. Ever so often he has a good point, but you could count those good points with less than 10 of your fingers. Towards the end he gets into technical platforms. In my opinion, it was useless information. Don't let the number of pages fool you into thinking it is very in-depth. The type is fairly large and double-spaced. This sneaky tactic is best left to college term papers.

Not worth the money:
I just bought this book recently. This book talks about many general concepts, but I didn't see many useful points.
