Product Management's Sacred Seven: The Skills Required to Crush Product Manager Interviews and be a World-Class PM (Fast Forward Your Product Career: The Two Books Required to Land Any PM Job)

Sacred seven was great intro to understand PM role by using different examples of world leading tech companies. I really enjoyed well defined and structured chapters (Product design, economics, psychology, UX, data science, law, marketing), where authors extract essential information and supplementing each chapter with bar code links to videos. I believe this is great source for people who is willing to start or change their career toward PM role. Highly recommend this book.

I bought two copies of the "Sacred Seven", one for a fellow Product Manager, one for myself. This is pretty much the first time I've done anything like that. The reason for this is simple: this book is a comprehensive guide and deep-dive into what constitutes sound Product Management in today's blazing-fast technology business. The paradox is that if you're serious about managing a product today, you have to find the time to read this book. Ignore it at your own risk;). Enormous kudos for the authors to have come up with literally a "bible" of Product Management.

Looking to explore new career pathway, I came across the Sacred Seven recommended as one of the best books to master the key capabilities under product management. I am halfway through the book and I am enjoying it greatly. The style keeps you thirsty for more - laying the concept and supporting it by using different examples of world leading tech companies is very enriching. I love the structure of the chapters, the interview tips and the supplement of each chapter with bar code links to videos. I recommend this book for anyone thinking to start or change their career towards a PM role, anyone looking to refresh or cement their knowledge in preparation for an interview, or purely as a reference to all the great nuggets and real world examples.

First of all, the authors have ‘authority’ on the subject area because of their backgrounds. The points they make are salient for the most part, however, the prose has frequent grammatical errors from simple verb/noun agreements to misusing noun/adjectives etc. I found it difficult to read given the poor written communication standard. These guys have put together good material but didn’t bother finding a good editor to improve their colloquial style for the written form. It feels as if it is a self-published book.

I use this book as a reference guide. Its massive for me to read it from cover to cover. Many advise reading it from cover to cover. One example of how I use it: I had a meeting with my CEO and I knew the agenda of our meeting. I picked up the book and referred to a few parts of the book. Read through the use cases and the models discussed in those specific sections. I applied those use cases to our business model and spoke about how we can apply them as a solution. I used one of the way too many use cases used in the book as an example and the CEO was so impressed with me. At the end of the meeting I informed him about this book and where my ideas came from. He has now asked the entire team to order this book and read through it. Thanks for this gem! :)

This book is outstanding: I’ve both learnt a huge amount and found it incredibly engaging. The authors back up all the points they make with a wide variety of case studies which make it a fascinating read.

A very well-thought-through and structured book covering PM craft from a 360 angle. If you are just starting your PM journey you will find not only guidance but also plenty of examples that make it easier to absorb the knowledge. If you are a mature PM it is always good to have this book with some tips to everyday use cases. If you're interviewing for a PM role – it's a must-have. Definitely worth buying.

This is an insightful book that breaks down the topics around product management well into 7 sections. The book is packed with many real world examples with lots of snippets of videos as QR codes which can be scanned from your phone. Highly recomended!!!

I really enjoyed this book. Some concrete examples across the core skills required for top performing product managers.

I have been looking to transition to Product Management from my Finance field and I have had to get some materials that could help me through this phase. Of all these materials I got, I must acknowledge this was my best hands down. I believe the uniqueness with which they portrayed their case studies, the real-life examples, and how the concepts were applied made the difference. In my opinion, I think lots of work was put into writing this book. Kudos to the writers.

I’ve read many books (50+) about product management, UX, and psychology, but none was nearly as comprehensive as this book. I wish this book had been available when I started as a PM 10 years ago. Reading it will feel like reading the most important parts of the best PM books. With lots of examples, tips and practices written clearly, this book best reflects the mindset of a PM. If you've been a PM for a while, it won't be completely new, but as a beginner, it's a must. Now, if someone asks me how to be a PM, I just have to show them this book. The seven areas are: Product design (scaling, finding advantages, MVP, hypothesis testing, etc.), Economics (business models, GTM, customer economics, segmentation, etc.), Psychology (pricing, motivation, stickiness, gamification, etc.), UX (mental models, principles, usability, etc.), Data science (principles, metrics, metric models, Law (intellectual property, privacy, accessibility, etc.), Marketing&Growth(branding, market types, advertising, growth hacking, etc.).

I read the swipe to unlock by the same authors and really enjoyed it. Having been in tech for 6 years I still learned a lot. Was no Suprise to pick this book up as one of my reads as I prepare for interviews and eventually a job as a PM. The book is great, and has fantastic resources and insights on what I believe every PM requires and more so every aspiring PM. It will remain my go to ….

Provide detailed overview, guideline and case study of important aspect of being a Product Manager. Really help to know what are important framework in both start up and big tech world! Highly recommend!
