Product Management for UX People

For designers working on product, the relationship with their product manager is one of the most important there is. Even so, the lack of resources for those designers who want to know more about the discipline - to strengthen their partnership with PMs, or even become one - is surprising.

This lack of help inspired our guest author Christian Crumlish to write Product Management for UX People. In the book, Christian plumbs the intersections and gaps between design and product management.

"Finally, a book that zooms into the Venn diagram between product management and UX with day-in-the-life clarity."
--Hà Phan, UX designer turned Director of Product
