Building Products for the Enterprise: Product Management in Enterprise Software

I've found this book very interesting in understanding the difference between building consumer tech vs enterprise and the understanding of customer vs user. And the explanation of how to apply and evaluate the concepts learned is super important.

Livre interessant

I highly recommend the book for all beginners in Enterprise PM. I wish I read it 3 years ago.The book elaborates on difference between customer vs users needs and the importance of other teams beyond Ux and Dev you need to leverage for overall product success in Enterprise environment.I was expecting more examples and how-tos for various Enterprise situations. Authors skipped description of how to recognize product oriented enterprise and how to drive the change from within. I think the book is more relevant for Feature Product Owners.

I was expecting a book on product management for enterprise software. But this is basically a book written by someone working IN an enterprise company.Not much useful information, you won't discover how to manage stakeholders, how to maintain growth, how to test your user, how to know if you are building the right software. The only thing that you won't find in another product management book, can be sum up in one sentence: PM building for enterprise company have two kings of customer, exec and day to day analyst, and you always need to balance your product into these two kings of people to have the best product

A terrific primer on the nuts and bolts of product management. While I believe this would be a beneficial read for anyone who is interested in getting into enterprise software product management, I would highly recommend it to anyone tangential to product management, i.e. sales, solutions consulting, product marketing, etc.I myself read this while I was in a solutions consulting role, and have since moved to sales, but it continues to be a beneficial guidestone to know what the product management teams I frequently interact with are actually doing. There seem to be many in sales, for example, who believe that product managers are catch-all geniuses who can solve any software issue that is thrown over their fence. To be certain, product managers often can solve a lot of these problems, but it is critical to gain understanding that doing so would require deviating from their biggest priorities.In summation, I recommend this book to anyone working WITH product managers as a way to gain knowledge and empathy as to how you can maximize your relationship with the PMs in your organization.
