How do PMs stay relevant when everything changes fast?
With technology accelerating and innovation in each space changing so fast, how do you stay relevant?
Which articles do you read, which books do you refer back to, which conferences do you attend? But more importantly — have you created any system that automatically curates the relevant topics? There is so much to read that the backlog just increases.
The real question is not "what should I read" but "how do I build a system that keeps me current without drowning in content?"

1. Read publications for trends — Forbes, Harvard Business Review. 2. Audit courses on Coursera (free, no certificate, but you get the knowledge). 3. Follow industry leaders on LinkedIn. But I think the question behind the question is: does reading more actually make you a better PM? I have met PMs who read everything and still make poor product decisions, and PMs who read very little but have deep domain expertise and excellent judgment. Staying relevant might be less about breadth of input and more about depth of application.
