Product Management Is a Balancing Act - Marc Abraham, Head of Product Engagement at ASOS SEEKERS

As Head of Product - Engagement at ASOS and with two books and dozens of talks and events in his resume, Marc Abraham has mastered the art of managing growing products with way too many moving parts - from processes and frameworks to people and tools. As he puts it, no two days are the same, and “the job of a product manager is never done unless the decision is made to terminate the product”.
His books on product management,  “Managing Products = Managing Tension” and “My Product Management Toolkit”, are well worth a read!
