Synopsis

How do today's most successful tech companies—Amazon, Google, Facebook, Netflix, Tesla—design, develop, and deploy the products that have earned the love of literally billions of people around the world? Perhaps surprisingly, they do it very differently than most tech companies. In Inspired, technology product management thought leader Marty Cagan provides listeners with a master class in how to structure and staff a vibrant and successful product organization, and how to discover and deliver technology products that your customers will love—and that will work for your business.

With sections on assembling the right people and skillsets, discovering the right product, embracing an effective yet lightweight process, and creating a strong product culture, listeners can take the information they learn and immediately leverage it within their own organizations—dramatically improving their own product efforts.

Whether you're an early-stage startup working to get to product/market fit, or a growth-stage company working to scale your product organization, or a large, long-established company trying to regain your ability to consistently deliver new value for your customers, Inspired will take you and your product organization to a new level of customer engagement, consistent innovation, and business success.

This audiobook includes a new preface not included in the print edition.

Goodreads review by Disha on January 25, 2016

Picked up this book after a great review in Economic Times. The content is very disappointing to say the least. The author has missed on several key responsibilities and challenges of product management and has only penned a theoretical and ideal world description. The book does not talk in examples......more

Some insights. But did it need that many words? Absolutely not......more

Goodreads review by Peter on July 11, 2019

I don't know but the content seems to be dated. Examples: >> Once you've validated a product and delivered the specifications to engineering, you must make a fundamental mindset shift from product discovery to execution. >> There should be no further changes to the product specifications after this.......more
