Every once in awhile someone will ask me if there are any good product management blogs... are you kidding me? As a Product Manager you are suppose to some basic research skills. The easiest way to point someone to the best product management blogs is to show them "All the top Product Management news." I am going to take that one step further... the first official Product Management Blog Awards determined by the autocracy of me.
Top 5 Product Management Blogs
1. The Cranky Product Manager... because I fear her wrath so she is number 1. On a serious note, her blog is most widely recognized.
2. On Product Management... hands down a true thought leader on product management
3. Ask a Good Product Manager / How To Be A Good Product Manager... awesome resource
4. Tyner Blain... for the sheer volume of words per post
5. Write that Down... a straight approach to product management
Member of Hall of Fame
ProductMarketing.com... the most respected opinion in product management and marketing
Honourable Mentions
The Productologist... a respected member of the community
Top Product Management / Leadership Blog
Lead on Purpose... a mix of leadership with a dash of product management tossed in
Top Product Marketing Blog
Rocket Watcher... a true thought leader in this area and one of the top 10 Most Influential Women in Social Media in Canada!!
Up and Coming Product Management Blogs
The Accidental Product Manager... fairly new but awesome content so far
I you disagree or think your blog is worth of mention add it to the comments.
Hey Stewart, thanks for the mention! It's pretty cool for me to be in the same company as the other folks on this list. Cranky PM truly deserves the top spot. She's got a unique ability to really tell it like it is (without having to worry about reprisals!) which frankly, a lot of folks out there need to hear and she does it with a lot of wit. The On Product Management guys are a great read (and fellow Canadians!). I LOVE Tyner Blain and have used posts from there many times at work when I've been in arguments and have needed to point to a practical example of product management best practices. The others - How to Be a Good Product Manager, Write that down, ProductMarketing, Lead on Purpose and the Accidental Product Manager are all in my reader too. As is the Product Management View I might add.
I love that there is a growing "community" (to use a pathetically over-used word) of us writing, discussing, agreeing, disagreeing and generally learning from each other and hopefully being informative and entertaining for other folks out there.
I'm glad to be part of the club!

I blush. "The Hall of Fame." But wait, did you say "OPINION?" Remember: Your opinion, while interesting, is irrelevant. It says so right here on my coffee mug!
The Cranky Product Manager would like to thank the Academy for this unbelievable honor. Even though clearly the honor is due to her making you afraid rather than her truly deserving it.
But the Cranky Product Manager actually doesn't think her blog is the best known. Steve Johnson's and Jeff Lash's are much more prominent.
Thank you! Can you create a badge thingy the CPM can stick on the blog. You know the CPM is a slut for such things.
Steve, sorry must have forgot the slogan. I don't have a fancy mug to remind me. :-)
Cranky, in my very formal data collection your blog is the only one that people talk about in social situations. Seriously. Hence the #1.
Wow, thanks!

Thanks for this priceless info.
Thanks for the list. I also read Marty Cagan's blog at http://www.svproduct.com/
Well, I have been reading your blog posts daily and the reason I come on your blog frequently is its compelling content… Regards… http://www.pctechoutlet.com
