Why The Product Compass?
This is the #1 Substack newsletter written by an experienced Product Manager.
The Product Compass:
Explores all the critical PM learning topics and explains how they are connected.
Focuses precisely on what you need to know as a Product Manager.
Provides step-by-step instructions and actionable advice.
With over 15 years of experience, including 5 years of running a successful startup, I advise experts in the field. See my references from Manuel Pais, the second most successful book author in our domain:
The Product Compass is more than a newsletter. It’s a learning community.
🎯 My goal for the next 12 months is to help you become a 30% better PM, with at least 100X return on investment through articles, skill assessments, courses, community, tools, and individual advice on Slack.
By joining The Product Compass, you will:
Learn everything you need to know to grow and boost your PM career.
Understand how to apply the theory in practice.
Connect the dots between popular methods, frameworks, and templates.
