PRODUCT MANAGEMENT SHORT COURSE: SINGAPORE

How do companies like Google and Adobe decide which new features to launch for their users? Enter product managers. Lying at the intersection between business, design, and technology, product management is the practice of identifying and building out products that are viable, feasible, and desired by customers.

Whether developing their own product or working within a larger organisation, product managers work with key stakeholders, designers, and developers to ensure that the final product satisfies both business objectives and customer needs. Product management skills are in high demand — LinkedIn ranks product manager as one of its most promising jobs — with openings for product management jobs growing 29% year over year in the U.S. alone. And in Singapore, product manager is one of the 15 fastest growing job titles across the country.

Our Singapore Product Management Short Course is the best course for new Singapore-based product managers, entrepreneurs, and others exploring a career that bridges business, design, and tech. You’ll find a diverse range of Singapore-based students in the classroom, including:

• New product managers who may have been recently promoted into the role or have been informally taking on product management tasks.
• Entrepreneurs applying product management principles to their own startup, and other professionals undertaking passion projects on the side.
• Non project management professionals such as UX designers, engineers, and project managers who work with product teams and are looking to build fluency in the discipline.

Ultimately, this program attracts a community of eager Singapore-based learners who have an interest in working cross-functionally and bringing successful products to life.

This is a beginner-friendly Singapore product management program with no prerequisites, although students may have had exposure to product development concepts or be informally taking on product management responsibilities in their current role. Whether you’re new to the field or you’re looking to formalise your practice, our curriculum will enable you to explore critical tools for navigating the product life cycle and put them to work for you, your company, and your career.

Here are just some of the benefits you can expect as a GA Singapore student:

• Robust coursework, including expert-vetted lesson decks, project toolkits, and more. Refresh and refine your knowledge throughout your professional journey as needed.
• A real-world project where you’ll apply the end-to-end product management process, developing a product or feature that’s aligned to both customer needs and business goals.

For your final project, you’ll apply all of the concepts and tools learned in the Singapore product management course to develop a product or feature of your choice. You’ll get hands-on practice with each step in the product management process and create professional-standard documentation spanning market research, prototyping, health metrics, and more. You’ll also deliver a final product management presentation, which can serve as a case study for stakeholders, future employers, and your portfolio.

We encourage you to tackle a product challenge that’s related to your work or a passion project you’ve been meaning to carve out time for.

Throughout this product management training course, you’ll also complete a number of smaller projects based on real-world examples that are designed to reinforce what you’ve learned in each unit.

Yes. All of our short courses are designed for busy Singapore-based professionals with full-time work commitments. Depending on your location, classes meet twice per week in the evenings or all day on Saturday.

You’ll be expected to spend time working on homework and projects outside of class each week, but the workload is designed to be manageable with a full-time job.

If you need to miss a session or two, we offer resources to help you catch up. We recommend you discuss any planned absences with your instructor.
