Course overview
Product Management: 0 to 1 in 2 weeks
Product management can seem overwhelming, especially for first-timers in small or new teams. A quick search will suggest a PM needs to:
- Do product discovery, talk to customers, and be their voice
- Communicate well with all stakeholders, manage expectations, and keep them happy
- Learn about the market, business, laws, privacy, and security needs
- Work with engineers, designers, customer success, CxO
- Define product vision, strategy, roadmap
- Lead product development
- Create the backlog. Then continuously plan, revise and groom
- Design the product
- Deliver high-quality products that users can learn, use, and trust. And do it fast
- Make data-driven decisions
- Lead & influence people without authority
- Learn about and apply (at least some of) the tens of product frameworks such as Design Thinking, Lean Product Management, North Star, Product Market Fit, Jobs to be done, etc.

Most teams and companies don't have the maturity and resources of the Big Tech (Microsoft, Google, Meta, Netflix, etc.). Nobody can do it all.

David Jorjani
3x Head of Product, 6-year University Lecturer
I first started as a founding engineer of a startup. We didn't know what product leadership was. It was a painful 5-year period. Your startup product experience doesn't have to be.
Three startups later in a similar capacity and many workshops, programs, coaching sessions later, I have learned a few lessons to share.
Our last startup was acquired and I am still connected with many of my team members.
Skip the grueling grind and jump on the joyous journey.
