Thanks Peter! Great to see awareness of the demands of real product management as it relates to agile practices.
To augment your list, I’d like to suggest a couple of product management-centric resources I’ve found instructional and inspirational as I’ve gotten my feet into agile product management. I think these present a slightly different angle:

Rich Mironov’s presentation “The Product Manager/Product Owner Dilemna.”
Keep up the good work!
Right on! Thanks John!
