What you'll learn

Start thinking in terms of Outcomes, instead of Output.

Lead your teams by explaining the "Why" (Outcomes) of the work instead of just the "What" (Outputs)

Understand how your work leads to business outcomes

You will learn how to identify the most impactful opportunities using a framework called the Impact Map

Grow your user empathy and customer discovery skills

You will learn how to better understand users and be outside-in with your thinking

Why this topic matters

Up-level your PM career by shifting your thinking from outputs to outcomes and ship features that deliver results for your company. Product managers often get stuck focusing on "what are we building and when will it be ready" instead of "what will change as a result of building this?" This leaves out the critical element of making sure you are building the right (most impactful) things.
