| (Disclaimer - I'm a writer at Product Manager HQ, so my perspective is biased!) I've seen that boards/forums and websites/blogs are distinct categories of resources. I haven't found a board/forum that really helped me to grow as a product manager yet. My hypothesis is that because there are so many different kinds of product managers, it's difficult to hit any kind of critical mass of invested users who can all answer each other's questions. Even a forum with thousands of PM's may not succeed, because there are so many kinds of product managers (B2B vs B2C, web vs mobile, API vs UI, internal vs external, etc.) That said, there are Slack communities that are a bit more lively than boards/forums, but even then the user ratios are usually heavily skewed towards newer PMs rather than more tenured PMs. I strongly believe there are great websites/blogs, however. Two of my favorites (again, bias warning): 1) Product Manager HQ (https://www.productmanagerhq.com/) - generally relevant content for aspiring PMs, new PMs, and experienced PMs. Not as much content for Heads of Product, unfortunately. 2) Black Box of Product Management (https://blackboxofpm.com/) - solid resource for directors of product and higher. |
