1. SVPG Insights Blog

The Silicon Valley Product Group (SVPG) was founded by product management veteran Marty Cagan as a way to share the knowledge and experience of some of the tech industry’s most experienced product leaders. Before developing the SVPG, Cagan was responsible for developing and managing some of the most recognizable brands in tech, including Hewlett-Packard, Netscape Communications, and eBay. In addition to an ongoing series of workshops and larger events, SVPG’s Insights blog regularly features excellent articles on a series of product-related topics.

2. Amplitude Blog

Founders Spenser Skates, Curtis Liu, and Jeffrey Wang created Amplitude with a single mission in mind: help teams build better products. A core tenet of Amplitude’s philosophy is that product analytics is something everyone should be involved with. Their blog reflects this vision by showcasing how different roles – from product managers to engineers, to designers – can use analytics to build better products.

Amplitude’s blog often features guest posts by product experts including Hiten Shah, Brian Balfour, and John Cutler, and others. For anyone interested in stepping up their product analytics game, this blog is a must-read.

3. Pendo Blog

Pendo is a well-known analytics tool in the product management world. Many product folks appreciate its intuitive and easily-navigable design and its robust features. Analytics and user feedback are invaluable to product managers working on complex software products, and Pendo’s blog is almost as indispensable as these metrics.

Pendo regularly publishes great content at a regular cadence, offering insights from their own experts and guest writers. While it’s true that many of their articles focus on their product (#greatcontentmarketing), they also publish tons of great general interest content for product managers, with articles on launching new products, using Net Promoter Score, and even how product and UX teams can work together most effectively.

4. Product Talk

Created and administered by Teresa Torres, Product Talk is a great resource for product managers, user experience designers, founders, and more. The site acknowledges that building technology products is hard work and the answers aren’t always immediately clear or available. Torres explains that the goal of Product Talk is to help product developers better understand their users and customers, more effectively integrate experiments into their product design and development process, and make data-informed decisions that simultaneously drive business and customers’ success. If you’re a product manager or involved in the product development process, the value here is obvious.

Recent blog posts have focused on topics like rapid prototyping, continuous user research and discovery, experiment design, and interviewing tips.

6. Ken Norton’s Blog

Ken Norton is a well-known product management expert. Currently, Ken is a partner at Google Ventures, following a successful career as a product manager for some of Google’s premier products, including Google Docs, Google Calendar, and more. In addition to regularly delivering keynotes at major product industry conferences and advising hundreds of companies as a partner at Google Ventures, Ken regularly publishes articles on product management topics like what a product manager should do in their first 30 days at a new company, how to work most effectively with engineers, planning, prioritization, and strategy.

We love that Ken shares our philosophy of publishing articles that appeal to product folks for a variety of reasons. While it’s great to be hyper-specific and do deep dives into planning and prioritization, it’s also fun to talk about career advice, hiring tips, and the other idiosyncrasies of life on the product team.

7. First Round’s The Review

When First Round Capital decided to create a new blog to share articles on a variety of startup-related topics, they said they wanted to create the Harvard Business Review for startups. They regularly acknowledge that building a startup is not easy to do. It’s full of challenges and potential pitfalls that are unique to the VC and startup spaces. The Review is billed as “an entirely new kind of online publication, built for technology entrepreneurs, where they can learn how to build better companies. And they can learn directly from the people actually doing it.” We think they’ve done a pretty great job living up to their initial goals.

The Review offers a lot of great content for anyone working in the startup space, including founders, marketers, investors, and product managers. Their articles are written by startup experts for startup folks so there is a tremendous amount of first-hand experience and knowledge sprinkled throughout their posts. Some of the recent articles have covered topics like networking, fundraising, building empathy on product teams, and developing a solid PR plan for your product.
