Book Description

In recent years, platform business models have revolutionized various industries, including retail and media. Companies such as Amazon, Netflix, and Spotify have changed how businesses reach out to their consumers. With the rise of these platforms and the increased use of technology, consumers prefer to search, explore, compare, and choose between different options within a single uninterrupted user experience. Providing such an experience is difficult and almost impossible when using linear models, and this is why modern businesses must adopt a platform-first approach to change how they invent, develop, and market solutions.

This book addresses a critical pillar of platform development – product management. It'll help you to understand the difference between traditional and modern product management for platforms while exploring the importance and benefits of the platform business model. 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 also walks you through the steps and guidelines that'll help organizations and product managers to 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.
