The Problem-to-Product Program

Nijat Hajiyev

Product Owner @ JPMC | Ex-Amazon

AI writes the docs now. Your value is knowing which problem to solve.

Every week another tool promises to do your job. AI writes the user story. AI drafts the BRD. AI maps the process in nine seconds.

So you learn the tools. You take the course, collect the certificate, memorize the framework. And you are still the person who documents what someone else already decided.

What did not change: someone has to sit in a room of people who disagree, find the real problem under the noise, and decide what gets built. AI made that person more valuable. It made everyone else optional.

This course builds that person!

You take one real problem, yours or one I give you, and drive it end to end: elicitation, root cause, process models, data, architecture, business case, prototype, pitch. AI is not a module here. You use it in every session, and you learn exactly where it lies to you.

My students have moved from finance, marketing and support into analyst and product roles at KPMG, Velux, Docplanner and Revolut. Not because they memorized a framework. Because they had something to show.

Not theory! Not another certificate! ProofQ

What you’ll learn

Take one real problem from the first interview to the shipped prototype, using AI at every step. Leave with proof you can do the job.

  • Elicit from stakeholders who contradict each other.

  • Stop solving problems nobody has.

  • Walk out with: problem statement, stakeholder map, systems diagram.

  • Build As-Is and To-Be models in BPMN and UML.

  • End scope arguments with a diagram, not an opinion.

  • Walk out with: a full model pack for one real process.

  • Write SQL and query Databricks yourself.

  • Back requirements with evidence.

  • Walk out with: a quantified analysis with a number attached.

  • Read an API, cloud architecture, write NFRs.

  • Stop being talked past in design reviews.

  • Walk out with: a solution architecture and a full NFR set.

  • Turn requirements into a clickable prototype using LLMs and prompt engineering.

  • Test the idea in a week, not a quarter.

  • Walk out with: a working prototype.

  • Build the business case, prioritize the backlog, pitch live on Demo Day

  • Hold an exec review without flinching.

  • Walk out with: a pitch deck, a roadmap, a portfolio artifact.

Who this course is for

  • You are a BA or product owner who documents decisions made by others. You want to own the problem, not transcribe it.

  • You work in finance, ops, marketing or consulting. You know how a business makes money. You have nothing that proves you can build.

  • You are an engineer, data analyst or QA, tired of building whatever the vague ticket says. You want to define the problem, not receive it.
