@bentossell Hey Ben, thanks for asking!
When I lived in Cape Town I worked at a UX consultancy (Flow Interactive) that also did training. We already had a UX course, so I spent a few months creating a Product Management course as well. That turned out to be an excellent book MVP :) After running the course a few times and adjusting it based on participant feedback, I had a 400 "user tested" Keynote slides and I thought, "How hard could it be to turn this into a book!?"
Well, turns out, plenty hard :) But I worked with Smashing Magazine who was keen to publish it, and I had some great editors, including Francisco Inchauste (@iamfinch on Twitter) and Owen Gregor (@FullCreamMilkMan on Twitter).
Even though it was a long process, I think it accidentally (I didn't plan it this way when I created the course) turned into a pretty good way to write a book. I was able to test the concepts and the presentation thereof with a real audience, and I used that feedback to adapt and evolve the "MVP" into a book.
