We’ve signed two new books

It’s been a busy week. On top of launching Tomer Sharon’s new book Validating Product Ideas Through Lean User Research and reaching the verge of selling out our Product Management + User Experience Conference, we managed to sign two new books that should come out in early 2017.

Brett Harned, who helps organize the Digital PM Summit, is one of a new breed of project managers that focuses on the human element of getting projects done. In Project Management for Humans, he’ll explains why everyone should have at least some command of project management skills—and how the work itself is as much about understanding and working with people as it’s about managing schedules and scope creep.

Our other new signing—About (Design) Leadership—teams veteran UX managers Russ Unger, author of many popular UX books and now at 18F, and Chris Avore, who runs product design at Nasdaq. They’re chock full of practical advice (just check out the table of contents!) for UX people who are moving into management and leadership roles.

Looking forward to launching these two—and many more great new books—over the coming year.
