Extended open Q&A by +30 minutes

✅ Why invest in learning with me? I’m a Lead PM at Booking.com, and one of the first tech PMs there, with over 10 years in the field. Before moving into product, I was a Software Developer and earned a PhD in Computer Science. I’ve worked on both sides and know exactly what technical understanding PMs need - and don't. I'll teach you exactly what matters (and why) for driving products forward. You'll get the technical and AI-building fluency needed to drive your team, no coding, no database internals, no load balancers. ✅ What can better technical understanding do for your career? From a survey of 650 PMs, 56% want to speak the same language as their engineers to communicate effectively, and build trust. 61% want to estimate features on their own, so they can plan better and deliver on time. And today, technical understanding also lets you quickly AI-prototype features to show it to real users. Finally, if you want to land a Big Tech PM role, tech skills are critical. ✅ What makes this course different? ➡️ The course is 20% theory and 80% hands-on:&nbsp;you’ll solve over 200 exercises, because that’s how real skills stick. (Try two free lessons below to learn new things even if you don’t enroll) ➡️ The course naturally offers you two very related skills: Tech foundation (part 1) allows you to lead your team more effectively. Then, if you think about it - AI is... just a non-human version of your team :) That's why in part 2 you apply Tech concepts to create features yourself. This enables you to understand tech even deeper and later turn your ideas into clickable features in minutes/hours (check 2 examples below: Spotify Clone and Cost Split App). In student's words: "Interestingly, the AI part is also incredibly useful even if you’re not the one doing the prototyping yourself.&nbsp;I started using the right technical terms and began to think a bit like an algorithm (which helps in finding a common language with developers and engineers)." ➡️ You can join even if you have zero knowledge about tech or AI-building ➡️ Over 1,500 students have already completed the course online or in person, on this platform and others. See reviews below. ➡️ Even more valuable practice: all alumni get a 100%-off voucher for one of the other ProductDo simulators worth up to 400$. ✅ The course structure explained 1️⃣&nbsp;Live session: Tech 101sWe start with a Tech 101 live session.In just 2 hours, you’ll learn (and immediately apply) the core concepts every PM should know: Frontend, Backend, Services, APIs. If you only did this session, you’d already have the essentials down. 2️⃣ Practice Tech Core (50+ exercises)Time to roll up your sleeves. You’ll work through a story-driven series of exercises based on real-life scenarios. You’ll build a Taxi app and along the way you’ll master tech topics with your virtual colleagues: Daniel the bossy CEO, Jane the guiding Principal PM, Ivar the eager Jr. PM (who always needs help), Helen, your sharp Engineering Manager, and more. Curious if this hands-on style suits you?Grab the free resource below, which is one full lesson from the API chapter, and see if solving 200+ exercises like this one sounds fun. 3️⃣ Live session: building a product architecture togetherOnce you’ve mastered the theory and practiced solo, we'll meet up again.You’ll team up with other PMs to design an architecture, APIs, and more for a product idea. Students love this collaborative part! 4️⃣ Practice AI-prototyping (50+ exercises)Back to hands-on mode this time with an AI-prototyping simulator.- Start by cloning UI with simple prompts, then add more UI features.- Next, bring in the database — suddenly it starts to feel real.- Layer on backend logic to make it smarter.- Finally, integrate an external API like OpenAI so your app becomes even more powerful. 🤖 Two examples of what you can do with AI:- In 5 mins: the Spotify clone: now in another 10 mins I can imitate "Concerts nearby" feature and show to stakeholders instead of slides: https://productdo-spotify-clone-interface-demo.replit.app/- In 3 hours: Fully functional CostSplit full-stack app: https://cost-split-mobile-demo-no-auth.replit.app/ (this app is part of the course, you'll build it yourself). Want a taste? Grab another free resource below; it's the full lesson on UI feature creation. After this, you'll be able to add a feature to your Spotify clone all by yourself! 5️⃣ Live session: building a product from scratch using AINow we bring it all together. I’ll walk you through building a complete app, step by step. You’ll break into groups to handle the UI, backend, databases, APIs, and more. It’s going to be a lot of fun. 6️⃣ Bonus- You’ll unlock advanced simulator chapters, allowing you to continue progressing at your own pace.- We have one more workshop reserved for any other topics the group wants to dive into, plus an extended Q&amp;A.- Additionally, you’ll receive complimentary access to one of the other ProductDo simulators worth up to 400$. ✅ Prerequisites to join the course- No prior tech or AI experience needed- If you want to participate in the AI-prototyping part, you need a Replit account (25$ for a month should be more than enough)- Be ready to set aside 2 hours for the live workshops and 3-4 hours during the week for self-practice. Only through practice can you really learn; there is no way around it.

The technical understanding a successful PM needs - nothing more.

The ChallengeYour days are filled with:🗓️ back-to-back meetings,🚀 sky-high customer or investor expectations,⏱️ wishes that your team could move faster sooner,🔥 wishes that you could move even faster and work on what really matters instead of fighting fires. You start each day with the best intentions, but somehow find yourself constantly reacting instead of leading.&nbsp;Sure, it would be nice to focus on your own goals, but you care about those other people (or at least some of them 😁). They’re colleagues and customers, family and friends... How can you collaborate with them responsively without forsaking your goals and becoming just a (re-)Actor in their story? 🎬 ✨ You wonder if AI can help, you wonder how other leaders are using AI to manage it all and manage their teams—but honestly, who's got the time to figure that out? ⏳ You have a constant, lurking anxiety about what’s falling through the cracks or not getting done, so you work faster. As you try to move faster, people fall short of your expectations and their potential. It causes friction and frustration (even if you hide it well). It's uncomfortable to call out, so you avoid giving feedback or mention it lightly, which makes the situation more uncomfortable. Eventually, you decide to give feedback. Sometimes it goes okay. Often, you try to move through and out of the conversation as quickly as possible because it feels so awkward. Growth and improvements rarely last. You take on more work yourself to get it done. The Solution (Evidence-based. Immediately applicable.)⏱️&nbsp;EVERYTHING YOU READ BELOW WILL BE ORIENTED TO IMMEDIATE APPLICATION DURING THE COURSE ⏱️What if you could shift from reacting to the constant inputs to creating what matters most and leading your team in that direction--everyday? This course will support you, step by step, in building your Operating System to make this shift. Fancy apps aren't enough. Nor are bursts of motivation. A sustainable Operating System has 3 features:🧰 Tools (simple enough to keep using, and amplified by AI)🔁&nbsp;Habits (the tools don't use themselves...except for some of the AI ones we'll build)🧠 Mindsets (you can "productively" spend your life responding to other people's messages and requests--or build something that matters) No, "perfection" isn't possible (or even desirable). But our days--and our results--completely shift when we focus our attention systematically instead of ad-hoc and reactively. And our conversations shift when we stop trying to fix people and start inspiring them to take action and grow. We teach you how to do this by using straightforward approaches that reliably transform defensiveness and friction into self-reflection, connection, and motivation to grow. You will start to look forward to feedback conversations because you will know how to use them as powerful tools for building trust and deepening connection. You will also explore your own mindsets and beliefs around feedback, identifying your own patterns around conflict avoidance, people-pleasing, and controlling behaviors. AI is woven throughout the course, including:1️⃣ building your own Custom GPTs2️⃣&nbsp;mastering your calendar3️⃣ using AI as a practice partner for difficult conversations and coaching skills4️⃣ helping your team use AI, and so much more! Once you've shifted the way you manage yourself and lead your team conversations, applying evidence-based approaches tested with 1000s of managers and amplified with AI, the whole game becomes fun again. Bonus:📝 You will also get 5 step-by-step facilitation guides for sharing and teaching your team members everything we cover in this course. This helps establish shared language and frameworks within your team/organization, and positions you as the leader of change. 📖&nbsp;You'll also get our 20-page Offsite Playbook with step-by-step guidance on how to design and facilitate unforgettable team and company gatherings. 🚀 And you'll get to do this while in a practice lab with other high-growth leaders.
