Product Management Bootcamp | Online

About this workshop

You’re full of ideas, but how do you know which are worth pursuing? Enter product management. Discover the basics of product development, product strategy, the product life cycle, and many more fundamental product management concepts in this hands-on product management bootcamp.

In the first half of this product management bootcamp, you’ll learn how to learn how to conduct market research and apply best practices when analyzing user interviewers. The ultimate goal of a product manager is to get to product/market fit. Take your idea and get moving in the right direction quickly and efficiently using design thinking and product management strategies.

In the second portion of the product management bootcamp, you’ll explore how PMs prioritize features for users and how the different types of minimum viable products (MVPs) can guide you to continued success. Products are constantly evolving, even after they’ve launched. It’s critical that product owners and product managers be able to measure their progress so that they can continue improving it.
