It’s critical that new PMs understand their career paths, the skills that can accelerate progress along those paths, and the traits that distinguish a good PM from a great PM. In this module, you’ll be able to recognize where you stand against the 5 core skills of a PM and build an action plan for addressing weaknesses and emphasizing strengths.

Engineers code, designers design, PMs communicate. In this module, we’ll study and write concise emails that clearly articulate purpose without losing meaning, and build clear product docs that drive alignment across teams. With a clear purpose, agenda, and pre-defined roles, your colleagues will rave about your productive meetings.

New PMs are judged based on how well they can execute. You’ll learn to define success metrics for every project and align stakeholders around critical decisions. You’ll impress colleagues by your ability to consistently ship your project on time, and leverage templates, processes, and frameworks to improve the quality & speed of your work.

Your job is to ship products to users to achieve business impact. To do that well, you need to figure out WHAT to build. In this module, you'll be able to speak confidently with users, conduct user research sessions, and expand your product taste with examples within and outside of your industry.

To level up, you need to get good at strategy, looking months and years ahead. You need to map concrete goals to identify whether you're successfully executing on a strategy. In this module, we’ll examine good and bad examples of strategy & goal-setting and help you apply prepared templates to articulate your own company’s strategy.
