Empowered: Ordinary People, Extraordinary Products

Marty Cagan, author of Inspired, and Chris Jones of the Silicon Valley Product Group write about what sets strong tech companies apart from the rest. The key difference is not in processes or frameworks, but in how teams are set up: "feature teams" execute decisions made by others, while "empowered product teams" are accountable for outcomes and figure out for themselves how to achieve them.

The book is written for leaders, but it is just as useful for developers: it helps you understand what a healthy product team should look like and ask the right questions about the work you are given.
