To the extent possible, the Licensor waives any right to + collect royalties from You for the exercise of the Licensed + Rights, whether directly or through a collecting society + under any voluntary or waivable statutory or compulsory + licensing scheme.

UNLESS OTHERWISE SEPARATELY UNDERTAKEN BY THE LICENSOR, TO THE + EXTENT POSSIBLE, THE LICENSOR OFFERS THE LICENSED MATERIAL AS-IS + AND AS-AVAILABLE, AND MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF + ANY KIND CONCERNING THE LICENSED MATERIAL, WHETHER EXPRESS, + IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHER.

This Public License applies for the term of the Copyright and + Similar Rights licensed here. However, if You fail to comply with + this Public License, then Your rights under this Public License + terminate automatically. + + b. Where Your right to use the Licensed Material has terminated under + Section 6(a), it reinstates: + + 1. automatically as of the date the violation is cured, provided + it is cured within 30 days of Your discovery of the + violation; or + + 2. upon express reinstatement by the Licensor. + + For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 6(b) does not affect any + right the Licensor may have to seek remedies for Your violations + of this Public License. + + c. For the avoidance of doubt, the Licensor may also offer the + Licensed Material under separate terms or conditions or stop + distributing the Licensed Material at any time; however, doing so + will not terminate this Public License. + + d.

And welcome to the first edition of the Complete Intro to Product Management as taught by [Brian Holt][twitter]. + +![Gears logo for the course](./images/course-icon.png) + +This is a course designed to give you an intro to product management, particularly for those who are already working in tech somewhere (like as an engineer or a designer) as well as those now looking to break into product management. In this course we will go over what a product manager does and does not do, how I have found to be an effective product manager, and tips and tricks of the trade as I have learned over the years. + +> One critical note for this class: there are many, many, many ways to be a good product manager. Unlike tech where there is a generally acceptable way to write code and generally a realm of correct answers, this is a much more subjective field that can be done well an infinite number of ways. I will give you my perspective and try to speak to a broad perspective but this course is extremely colored by my experience. Take nothing said here as law but more as suggestions of places to start your own journey of learning. + +## Who is this course for + +You, hopefully. 😄 This course is for anyone who wants to be a product manager. I will do my best to speak to everyone but this course speaks well to those who are already software engineers, designers, QA engineers, etc. as that was my journey into tech. Be sure to let me know if you had questions not answered so I can cover them in subsequent versions of this course. + +## Where to File Issues + +I write these courses and take care to not make mistakes. However when teaching hours of material, mistakes are inevitable, both here in the grammar and in the course with the material. However I (and the wonderful team at Frontend Masters) are constantly correcting the mistakes so that those of you that come later get the best product possible. If you find a mistake we'd love to fix it. The best way to do this is to [open a pull request or file an issue on the GitHub repo][issues]. While I'm always happy to chat and give advice on social media, I can't be tech support for everyone. And if you file it on GitHub, those who come later can Google the same answer you got. + +## Who am I + +My name is Brian Holt and I am a product manager at Snowflake. I work specifically on a project called Streamlit which allows data scientists and Python developers to write amazing data visualization and AI apps without the aid of a front end developer, empowering Python devs to do more. I have also works as a PM on developer tools and SDKs at Stripe as well as a PM on Visual Studio Code and Azure at Microsoft. Previous to being a PM I was a developer advocate at Microsoft and a staff software engineer at LinkedIn, Netflix, Reddit, and some other smaller companies. + +I never thought I'd be a PM but I've been happily doing it for nearly half my career now. We'll get more into my journey later but I wanted to shine a light on my bias here: I wrote code for a long time and now I have been a PM of developer tools since then. + +When I'm not working or developing new Frontend Masters courses, you'll find me in Seattle, WA. I love to travel, hang out with my wife and son, get out of breath on my Peloton, play Dota 2 and Diablo IV poorly, as well as drink Islay Scotches, local IPAs and coffees. + +![Brian teaching](./images/social-share-cover.jpg) + +Catch up with me on social media!
