Back in September, I wrote a post providing you with 25 awesome writers to follow on Medium to increase your product knowledge. The challenge I had when writing that post was that, unsurprisingly, there are more than twenty-five great writers relevant to product managers on Medium. I tried to provide a mix of people with different perspectives and levels of experience, and I think I did that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That post gained a lot of traction. In fact, it is my most popular post to date. I was pleased with the responses I received and suggestions of writers I could, or should, have had on the list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I\u2019ve taken on board the feedback, re-reviewed my list of followers and compiled a list of five more great people to follow on Medium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Before I kick off the list, there are a number of people that are super-insightful that write entirely or predominantly on their own publications. I cover these types of folk in another post, which you can read below.<\/p>\n\n\n There\u2019s also those who haven\u2019t produced much content recently but used to be prolific Medium writers, like Brandon Chu<\/a> and Brent Tworetzky<\/a>. You won\u2019t see those guys on this list either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Caveats and housekeeping done, it\u2019s time to get on with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Robert is the first name on this list for a reason. Frankly, it\u2019s a travesty that he wasn\u2019t on the original list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Rob posts regular content and even has his own publication, Getting Started in Product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Although the name of his publication implies that it\u2019s targetted at new product managers, I still find it really useful to refresh, challenge and refine my product toolkit.<\/p>\n\n\n If you liked my \u2018PM Quadrant\u2019 model<\/a>, or actually, if you didn\u2019t, Ravi has a different model to tackle a similar question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ravi\u2019s content is the Mehta* key to unlock your product mind (* #sorrynotsorry for the pun).<\/p>\n\n\n Josh has 41k followers. That\u2019s the capacity of my favourite football team (Chelsea\u2019s) Stadium. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Don\u2019t take my word for it, listen to the people, if you work in product and you\u2019re on Medium, you really should be following Josh.<\/p>\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Gibson\u2019s 12-part \u2018How to Define your Product Strategy\u2019 is what attracted me to his writing. That series alone is a whole lot of useful content that will take you some time to get through. You better get started if you want to read it all before Christmas\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n His article on Product Thinking vs Project Thinking<\/a> first drew me to his content, when I was writing a related piece myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Kyle\u2019s work is varied but always high quality. Not to brush over the content, but I\u2019m a big fan of Kyle\u2019s conversational and relatable style of writing. None of his posts are a difficult read, even when they\u2019re about some challenging content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n He also hosts a podcast with product designer Eva Chau, called Product by Design. My favourite episode is an analysis of Netflix and Hulu from a product design perspective, you can go directly to that episode here.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n
