Who are you?
I'm a product manager (Stripe, Remitly, US Digital Service) and PM career coach.

Why did you make this?
I developed many of these resources for junior PMs I've managed, and clients I've coached who are early career PMs or transitioning into PM roles. As a product leader, one problem I faced was training my team on how to strengthen their craft when it comes to foundational PM skills. I struggled with finding resources beyond books that most might not have time to read, or full-time training bootcamps that varied in value and quality.

Over the years, I built this guide to train my coaching clients on foundational PM best practices, and now, I’m making it available to help other early career PMs and aspiring PMs start their product career with a strong foundation in core PM skills.
