       Ask HN: Where do I find a Product Management coach?
        
       I've worked in startups for years leading in various capacities in
       and around product, but have not yet learned the "ropes" of product
       management, which is what I'd like to hone in on. And while I can
       probably get that experience at a big tech company, I do enjoy the
       more chaotic / creative environment of startups.  I'm looking for a
       PM coach to help me speed run the entire product management role,
       from strategy, roadmapping, managing stakeholders, dev cycles, etc
       etc.  Where can I find one?

       | What kind of product management do you want coaching in?
       | 
       | At it's core, product is the art of finding viable solutions that
       | work for business and customers. Looking for win-win solutions
       | that are actually buildable.
       | 
       | The details of the specific business, industry, customers and
       | technical implementation are everything though.

       | I do not know of a coach, but two resources I would encourage you
       | to check out are:
       | 
       | 1. Silicon Valley Product Group Blog: They are thought leaders in
       | the field and have a very strong opinion on how product
       | management SHOULD be done. I do not agree with everything they
       | recommend, but they are a great resource to help get up to speed
       | with product management. https://www.svpg.com/articles/
       | 
       | 2. Northwestern Kellogg Product Strategy Online Course: While
       | expensive, this is an excellent and rigorous resource for
       | learning product management basics.
       | https://www.kellogg.northwestern.edu/executive-education/ind...
       | 
       | I know this isn't quite what you were looking for, but I hope
       | these are some useful resources to get you started. I'd love to
       | hear what you ultimately end up doing and whether you found it
       | valuable or not.

       | You can search linkedin for "product coach" and find quite a lot.
       | Most product people (including me) are happy to do at least a
       | one-off chat if you reach out and aren't selling anything.
       | 
       | Happy to connect with anyone interested in the field or pondering
       | how to move forward within it: https://www.linkedin.com/in/david-
