Course overview

Think and act like a seasoned Product Manager.

Product management has been over-complicated and misrepresented. Product management is not pie in the sky, building products from scratch. Today, product management is about using data, insights, and a lot of sharp reasoning to uncover improvement opportunities and deliver value while managing the product decisions of your stakeholders.


We've designed our curriculum to illustrate a linear process for product strategy that leads seamlessly into execution. You'll move from APM, whether associate or aspiring, to PM faster.


We teach hypothesis-driven and data-informed problem solving perfect for product managers working in or seeking to grow and extend existing products.


The program is 4 weeks. You'll experience a comprehensive 8-module async curriculum built on a real-life case accompanied by optional live sessions with breakouts and instructor feedback. We've also thrown in a couple bonus workshops led by great minds in the tech ecosystem.


In this 4-week course, you will live through a Product Manager's first 100 days.


We will cover:

✅ Onboarding to a project and team

✅ Identifying and prioritizing which problems to work on

✅ Collecting and analyzing data to validate your hypotheses

✅ Coordinating and leading your cross-functional team

✅ Roadmapping features and influencing leadership

✅ Launching your first experiment


⭐ You will walk away with a fully completed PRD pitch deck and MVP that you can submit for your performance evaluation or upcoming interview.


⭐ ⭐ Join a slack community of peers and mentors you can turn to during and after the course.

Who is this course for:

01

Incoming Product Managers with an offer in hand and eager for an accelerated PM path

02

New Product Managers within their first 6 months on the job, struggling to execute and formalize their process

03

Aspiring Product Managers in adjacent or distant careers that have validated their interest in product and are seeking tactical skills

We teach you how to interpret all forms of data and build strategic product thinking and the A to Z framework to deliver tests and features.

Weekly Live Sessions

You'll experience live instruction from leaders in product management.

Two fully embedded simulation exercises

To ensure the concepts sink in, each week you will work through two product simulations based on real-life experiences.

Required Comprehensive On-Demand Modules

We pair instructor support with self-guided learning. You'll gain additional value by applying on-demand concepts with your peer-pair

Work with an Engineer to build a Technical Specification Document

In partnership with an engineer, you'll learn how to properly translate your AI-generated PRD to a technical specification document that engineers use to plan and deliver products.

AI - Graded Homework Assignments

Each chapter has associated homework assignments. As long as you submit your work, it will be evaluated. The grader has been trained on previously successful student responses and instructor's own rubric. You'll always know where you stand.

Tactics, definitions, and explanations

There are no dumb questions here! We will cover nuances in every product scenario, and you are always free to bring up any problems you're currently struggling with.

Proven templates and frameworks

You will gain access to best-in-class templates for OKRs, experimentation, roadmapping, market analysis, prioritization, and more.

Capstone Project

Throughout the course, you'll complete a Product PRD for you to submit for promotion panels or job interviews. The capstone is guided by YOU. You get the opportunity to test your knowledge and apply concepts on your won.

National Continuous Learning Community for Product Managers

We believe in on-demand access to learning and the power of exercising agency to advance your goals. We equip product managers with tools, hard and soft skills so that they have the confidence to exercise their agency in the workplace.


We built the product management stack to be about three pillars: Person, People, then Product. The product management stack is based on the principle that to grow products and shepherd teams, sustainably, personal development is required. While being an expert in your product is valuable, we understand that promotability only comes after self-mastery.
