Maarten’s Newsletter is an English newsletter run by Maarten Dalmijn on Substack, focused on Product Management, Agile and Scrum. Its page shows it has over 11,000 subscribers, and it positions itself as helping software teams "escape the noise of Product Management" and break free from the Feature Factory delivery trap with a clearer perspective.
It is not a tool-based SaaS at its core, but a knowledge content subscription. Users can subscribe to weekly updated content via Substack to read the author's articles on topics such as product owners, roadmaps, Story Points, software estimation, Sprint Goals, and Scrum rules. The page also provides access to article archives, featured articles, books, and the "Work With Me" service, indicating that in addition to the newsletter, the author may also offer consulting or cooperation services.
Only the regular Subscribe entry appears in the captured content, with no clear display of paid tiers, paywalls, or subscription prices. Therefore, it can only be confirmed at present that it offers at least a free subscription mechanism. Whether there are paid articles or premium subscriptions requires further verification on Substack.
Pros: It has a very vertical positioning, making it suitable for product management and Agile practitioners to follow long-term. The author has a strong personal brand: the page cites endorsements from multiple professionals in the product field, and also mentions that he once had over 60K subscribers on Medium. The article titles reflect strong critical thinking and practice orientation, making them suitable for reflecting on common team mistakes related to roadmaps, estimation, and Scrum.
Cons: It mainly relies on the author's personal output, and is neither a systematic course nor an interactive product management tool. The content is in English, which creates a language barrier for Chinese readers. The page does not clearly display service boundaries, paid benefits, or community mechanisms beyond the update frequency.
It is suitable for product managers, Product Owners, Scrum Masters, Agile coaches, software R&D managers, as well as startup teams or product leaders looking to improve their team's delivery methods. It is not ideal for users seeking project management software, template libraries, or Chinese-language courses.
This site is based on Substack. Substack may have unstable access experience in mainland China: it can be opened in some network environments, but may have loading restrictions in others. Email subscription usually still depends on the email service and network environment, so the overall assessment is "partially restricted".
