Description

Scaling a platform is a lot different than scaling a product. This is why product managers developing or transitioning to a platform model are often facing completely new challenges – both technical and strategic. But if you want to build the next Amazon, Netflix, Spotify, or a completely new type of platform, then you need to adopt a platform-first approach to change how you invent, develop, and market solutions. This is where Effective Product Platform Management comes in. This book addresses product management as a critical pillar of platform development. It'll help you understand the difference between traditional and modern product management for platforms and even decide whether the platform business model is the way to go for you. As you progress, you’ll be able to build the right platform strategy, define the MVP, and focus on ongoing backlog prioritization for successful platforms. This book will also walk you through the practical steps and guidelines that can ease your organization’s transition from linear products to platforms. By the end of this platform product management book, you’ll have learned the essential aspects of product management for building successful and scalable platforms. You’ll also have a clear understanding of the next steps you need to take to perfect and execute your new platform strategy – and take on the world.

Who is this book for?

If you’re a product manager, product owner, product director, or a business executive working on a platform strategy and its day-to-day execution, then this book is for you. It will also be useful for change managers and program managers tasked with transitioning from products to platforms. You won’t need any prior knowledge of platform strategy or platform transitioning before you get started, since the book covers all the basics – but taking notes to reflect on your journey as you work through the practical examples in this book is recommended.

What you will learn

  • Understand the difference between the product and platform business model
  • Build an end-to-end platform strategy from scratch
  • Translate the platform strategy to a roadmap with a well-defined implementation plan
  • Define the MVP for faster releases and test viability in the early stages
  • Create an operating model and design an execution plan
  • Measure the success or failure of the platform and make iterations after feedback

I have just gone halfway through it but it has been an insightful read so far. I am new to product management and like the steady ramp up from basics to more advanced topics. I think the book really comes alive with the 2nd section.Some areas could have been explained in more details but overall I loved the comprehensive view of the product management landscape that the author had tried to create. Certainly recommend a read for both beginners and experienced product managers.

The Effective Platform Product Management book explains the concept of Platform products in a very simplistic way.It provides a comprehensive view of the Platform as a Product that is developed with each section.The crucial thinking of the Platform that needs consideration from both the Consumer and Producer side is covered very well in the book.Phases of Platform development that are explained in context with the Digital product has made the ideas and implementation very manageable.Case studies included in each section are correlated and make the concept easier to understand.Creating a Platform Operating Model and governance structure for the Platform operating models is one of the very interesting sections that help in understanding the various ways of working.Platform Product Management book is a step by step guide to follow the overall concept to build a platform.

Thank you, Tabassum, for creating and synthesizing the body of knowledge on Platform Product Management. Thank you on behalf of the Product community. We love creators like you.I had the opportunity to read the book before being published. One of my favorite parts of the book is the platform operating model, and the ecosystem mindset permeated throughout the book.Highly recommend this book if you are interested in moving away from a linear product model to a dynamic platform model as a differentiator for your business strategy.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter. The new chapters are automatically added to your account, so you can also check back there any time you're ready and download or read them online.

Early Access is a way of us getting our content to you quicker, but the method of buying the Early Access course is still the same.

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.
