Here Is What The Book Was About:

While many books talk about software development approaches, i.e. agile or scrum, Inspired is a how-to guide for product teams on how to think about their roles, focusing on delivering value to customers. Focus is on the product manager, rather than other roles. Product managers have a very difficult role, and this can be used as a guide for those new to the role, as well as seasoned product managers who want to up their game and build great products.
