Finance ✦ Penny’s Take
Successful Product Management
Stephen Morse · 1998
58/100
👎 Skip It
Morse's 1998 Kogan Page reference covers the product management cycle comprehensively and the checklist approach is practically useful, but a 1998 publication date in a field transformed by SaaS, agile, and digital product discipline is a serious liability. There's no review trail to confirm it aged better than expected. Experienced product managers will find the framework dated; newer practitioners are better served by more current titles.
