Product Pieces

Most product failure isn't a failure of strategy. It's the basics, done
vaguely.

Problems nobody really defined. Features shipped and counted as wins while
no behaviour changed. "Done" that quietly meant "nearly". Get the basics
sharp and most of the clever stuff takes care of itself.

Product Pieces is the plain-English field guide to product management - 100
one-page concepts, built like a jigsaw. You start with the corners (what a prod-
uct even is, who it's for, what good looks like), then the edges, then the harder
middle, right up to the all-blue-sky bits everyone finds difficult: retention, pric-
ing, habits, leading a team.

It covers both halves of the job most books skip past - deciding what to build,
and getting it built the Agile way. Every concept lands in plain words, with a
vivid everyday example you already know, and the bit other books leave out:
exactly how the idea goes wrong, named out loud, because that's what actually
trips people up.

Read it front to back, or flick to the piece you need. There's a route in for
whoever you are - first-time founder, junior PM, or product leader. No jargon
for its own sake. No fluff you can't act on. Just the pieces, and how they click
together.
