When I first started my career, I made this huge mistake. I was so naive that whenever I am not sure of something, I immerse myself in the internet trying in and out to find the answers.A lot of you have done the same.
Thinking that we’d be able to find them all. More often than not, we lose track of where we started and go somewhere else.Especially when we are trying to learn something new.
I am sure we have come across this phrase - “Learn from your mistakes” sometime or the other in our lives. Saying that here is what I discovered recently. It makes more sense to learn from experiences than just sticking to all the theoretical knowledge.
Isn’t it great that we have a platform to learn from experiences that are needed to upskill yourself and unlearn things that will help you become the best version of yourself in whatever you do.
If you wonder what it is, its blogs.
If you haven’t unleashed the full potential of blogs, I see them as a great source to connect with the community and get expert help in a few words every now and then.
So, in this article, we are discussing some of the best blogs that are super helpful for all the product managers out there.
Insights from SVPG is a blog by Marty Cagan, the so-called guru of Product management himself. As I just discussed earlier, one of the important manifesto of them is “Been there, Done there”. You now get What I was saying right? Insights are the actual insights from people who are not just theoretical advisors, but practitioners in real time.
The blog talks about everything about building great products from design to development, strategy and marketing.
