Course overview

Product Management: Overwhelm to Clarity in 3 sessions

Product management can seem overwhelming, especially for first-timers in small or new teams. A quick search will suggest a PM should:


Lead product design & development. Then continuously plan & revise


Deliver high-quality products that users learn, use, and trust. And do it fast


Work with engineers, designers, customer success, CxOs


Communicate well with all stakeholders, manage expectations, and influence people without authority


Do product discovery, talk to customers, and be their voice


Learn about the market, business, laws, privacy, and security needs


Make data-driven decisions


Learn and apply 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.


Where do you start? What's most important for you Now? Your answer is unique to you. Let's find it together.

David Jorjani

3x Head of Product (2 acquired), 7-year University Instructor, Startup Advisor & Coach

I first started as a founding engineer of a startup. We didn't know what product was and how it could simplify everything for us. It was a painful 5-year period. Your startup experience doesn't have to be.


Three startups later in a similar capacity and many workshops, programs, and coaching sessions later, I have learned a few lessons to share.


My last two startups were acquired and I am still connected with many of my team members.


Skip the grueling grind and jump on the joyous journey.
