Course overview
You've been focusing on the wrong data skills.
When people talk about "learning data", they usually mean "learning to analyze the data you already have". But what if you don't even have the necessary data to begin with, because you didn't make the right decisions as you were building your products?
In my experience building products over a decade, I've made and dealt with mistakes around data that hinder product development. Yes, it happens even at Meta 😱
In this 3-week course, we will go back to the fundamentals, tear down the jargon, and deeply understand the data structure behind your products. You'll learn to ask the right questions and put the right constraints to ensure your product is set up for success.
Each week, you will have:
- 90 mins of live session dedicated to hands-on exercises and deep dives to put the concept into practice. This is at 5pm GMT/12pm EST/9am PST.
- NEW: 45 mins of recorded content you can review in your own time before the live session.
- NEW: 2 x 45 mins of optional Q&A and project guidance at Australia/Asia/West Coast-friendly timezones.
- Hands-on projects and assignments to deepen your understanding.
- Individual feedback on your projects and assignments from me.

Data Mastery for Product Managers
Level up your impact by mastering data

Course schedule
3-4 hours per week
Live sessions: Every Wednesday for 3 weeks
5-7pm GMT/12-2pm EST/9-11am PST
We'll waste no time and get straight to the core: Applying the frameworks you've learned through the recorded videos and focusing on hands-on exercises and practices.
The sessions will be recorded if you can't make it, and I also host office hours / project walk-through and Q&A
NEW: Recorded videos (watch before live sessions)
±45mins in your own time
Youll learn the fundamental concepts and frameworks through these videos. Make sure you watch them before the live sessions so we can get going!
Projects and case studies
±1 hour in your own time
This is completely optional, but I strongly encourage it if you want to take your learning to the next level. Apply what you've learned to your own product or company.
Personalized project feedback
Asynchronous
I know peer-to-peer feedback can be unreliable. That's why I always spend a good amount of time reviewing your projects and assignments and giving individual feedback.
NEW: (Optional) Project walk-through and Q&A
2 x 45 mins - come and ask questions
Some of my students are based in Australia and Asia, some other students have obligations which means they have to miss the live sessions. I added two more optional sessions @45 mins each week:
- 8am GMT / 4pm Singapore time / 6pm Sydney time
- 8pm GMT / 4pm EST / 1pm PST
