Product Management Fundamentals Workshop Series | Sydney

About this workshop series

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 course.

You’ll learn how to conduct market research, apply best practices when analyzing user interviewers, and explore how PMs prioritize features for users and how the different types of minimum viable products (MVPs) can guide you to continued success.
