Product Coalition — product management community on Medium

Product Coalition, founded by Jay Stansell, began as a Medium publication and evolved into one of the largest free communities for product managers. The combination of long-form content and real-time discussion makes it unusual among PM communities.

The Medium publication hosts a large collection of articles written by practicing PMs — covering strategy, user research, roadmapping, metrics, and career growth. Members can submit their own articles for publication, which creates a contributor-driven knowledge base rather than top-down editorial content.

The Slack channel extends conversations beyond published articles. Members discuss product strategies, share tools, and provide feedback on each other’s work. The atmosphere tends toward open exchange rather than polished content.

For PMs who both consume and create content — and who want a community where writing about product management is valued alongside practicing it — Product Coalition offers a good combination of publication platform and peer network. Entirely free to join.
