Do you have any recommended online courses for those interested in breaking into product management (e.g. LinkedIn Learning PM learning path, Udemy, etc.)

I usually recommend starting with the following books:

1. Cracking the PM Interview by Gayle Laakmann McDowell
2. On Design Thinking by Tim Brown
3. The Lean Startup by Eric Ries

As for the courses, I hear great things about:

• Reforge - www.reforge.com
• Managing your PM Career in 2023 & beyond - https://maven.com/shreyas-doshi/product-management-career

I personally have been teaching at The Product School and have seen benefits/value from those coming out of the course. It is really going to come down to your own learning style however. You could also very much find free reading materials if you are unable to invest in taking courses at the moment. You can go on youtube and simply search 'product management' and consuming videos and talks. You could go on twitter and read through the numerous shared docs there. It really comes down to whether you personally need structure or can create your own structure.

I took the Product Management course from General Assembly and I thought it was a helpful foundation. I recommend reading Inspired by Marty Cagan to any new product manager. However, product management is such a broad set of skills and expectations and is practiced differently at different companies so the best teacher is learning by doing and collaborating closely with your manager to ensure that you're up-skilling on the most impactful dimension for your role. If your manager isn't proactively providing recommendations, come with your own plan for up-skilling and get their input. This will show that you're motivated to learn and grow and ensure that you're focusing on the most important things for you to progress in your role.
