Hi everyone! I recently transitioned from a technical project manager role to an integrations product manager role. I am loving this so much more than project management and I’m very eager to learn more! I was curious what are some of the best books,articles, courses that have helped you grow the most? And do you have any other tips and recommendations for someone just starting out in this career path?

Thank you in advance!

I’m glad the transition is working for you. Now I’m curious - can you tell us more about the differences you’re noticing in your new role as an integrations product manager in comparison to your project management role?

I would read “inspired” by Silicon Valley group. Also reach out to other PMs including externally. Could be someone on LinkedIn. Found it extremely useful to have someone I can talk openly about difficulties and get advice/ mentorship. Would do the same with engineering

Could you elaborate with what specific books, articles, and courses do you want to read more about? Is it about the technical project manager role only or do you mean other materials that could help you grow more as an productive individual?
