Title: If this book is helpful to you, you have no business being in software product management
Review: This book might have been essential back in 1998 when any goof with a good idea started a software company. But we've moved WAY beyond that.Today, anyone in the software business should be able to have written this book. Its coverage is broad and cursory: development process, requirements management, product delivery, beta testing, pricing, internationalization, and more all in 139 pages (the rest of the book is sample documents).As an example of how shallow this book is, on page 129 she sees it necessary to define a "byte" as "a single computer memory space." Please. If you hope to be a software product manager but don't know what a byte is, don't give up your day job.The sample documents in the appendices are not bad but they don't justify the cost of the book.The book contains numerous instances of unclear writing which lead me to believe the book was not edited professionally.
