I Published a Book: The Product

I wrote a practical product management book based on five real projects and the decisions that turned ideas into working systems.

The Product: Lessons in Building the Real and the Possible - Ivan Golubic

Over years of building devices, platforms, and systems in Croatia and the UAE, I kept running into the same gap: too many product management resources talk about frameworks, but very few show how those decisions actually play out in the real world.

So I wrote a book.

The Product is a practical guide to building real products under real constraints — with real teams and real users. It dives into five actual product journeys I helped lead: The Battery, The Bike, The Sensor, The Ventilator, and The Food. Along the way, I share how clarity, iteration, and ownership turn complexity into progress.

This book is for product managers, engineers, CTOs, founders, innovators — and anyone who cares about getting things built in the real world.

Lost? Good. Let’s fix it.

Whether you’re building a product or building a career, I help founders make smarter moves and engineers grow beyond just coding.
