Amazing source for product managers at any stage of their career
Looking to explore new career pathway, I came across the Sacred Seven recommended as one of the best books to master the key capabilities under product management. I am halfway through the book and I am enjoying it greatly. The style keeps you thirsty for more - laying the concept and supporting it by using different examples of world leading tech companies is very enriching. I love the structure of the chapters, the interview tips and the supplement of each chapter with bar code links to videos. I recommend this book for anyone thinking to start or change their career towards a PM role, anyone looking to refresh or cement their knowledge in preparation for an interview, or purely as a reference to all the great nuggets and real world examples.

Such a brilliant Product Management Resource
I use this book as a reference guide. Its massive for me to read it from cover to cover. Many advise reading it from cover to cover. One example of how I use it:I had a meeting with my CEO and I knew the agenda of our meeting. I picked up the book and referred to a few parts of the book. Read through the use cases and the models discussed in those specific sections. I applied those use cases to our business model and spoke about how we can apply them as a solution. I used one of the way too many use cases used in the book as an example and the CEO was so impressed with me. At the end of the meeting I informed him about this book and where my ideas came from. He has now asked the entire team to order this book and read through it. Thanks for this gem! :)

Insightful and practical
A very well-thought-through and structured book covering PM craft from a 360 angle. If you are just starting your PM journey you will find not only guidance but also plenty of examples that make it easier to absorb the knowledge. If you are a mature PM it is always good to have this book with some tips to everyday use cases. If you're interviewing for a PM role – it's a must-have.Definitely worth buying.

An informative & fun book to read
The book covers a lot of topics that PMs should know, or they would come across in a product’s lifecycle. There are many case studies & examples that makes the book even more interesting & fun to read. I also appreciated the fact it’s very up to date.

A Must-Read for aspiring and experienced Product Managers
I bought two copies of the "Sacred Seven", one for a fellow Product Manager, one for myself. This is pretty much the first time I've done anything like that. The reason for this is simple: this book is a comprehensive guide and deep-dive into what constitutes sound Product Management in today's blazing-fast technology business. The paradox is that if you're serious about managing a product today, you have to find the time to read this book. Ignore it at your own risk;). Enormous kudos for the authors to have come up with literally a "bible" of Product Management.

Amazing book giving you an insight to everything you need to be aware of
PM7 i cant big up enough. Iv been extrememely keen on learning what i can on product management the past while and this book has been my favourite. It touches on everything relevant to the role but also enables you to appreciate other roles within the teams you work with, spot waste, learn more on customer behaviour, understand what questions you need to be asking and the importance of data to pinpoint what to really need to look for to improve your product overall or create new ones.All that and they share some invaluable insights from the experiences working with the biggest tech companies in the world

Good structured intro information for future PM
Sacred seven was great intro to understand PM role by using different examples of world leading tech companies. I really enjoyed well defined and structured chapters (Product design, economics, psychology, UX, data science, law, marketing), where authors extract essential information and supplementing each chapter with bar code links to videos. I believe this is great source for people who is willing to start or change their career toward PM role. Highly recommend this book.
