✅ TL;DR - a short version

- I am a Lead PM @Booking.com & ex-Dev, so I've been in both the tech and product worlds

- I focus only on what PMs should know: "what"/"why" of tech, because "how" is infinite, and it is not our job

- 1500+ students have already enjoyed the course online and offline; see reviews below

- This course is 20% theory and 80% practice: you'll solve 200+ exercises yourself because that's the way to learn

- Schedule: (a) a live session on Tech 101, (b) 2 weeks of self-practice, (c) a live session on building a product architecture together

- Check out what the exercises look like in this 5 min learning: just get the Free Resource below.

And now a longer version...

✅ WHY THIS COURSE

According to the survey (650 respondents), these are the top 3 reasons why PMs want to boost Tech skills:

- 56% want to speak the same language with their team: communicate effectively in the "devs" language, and understand what decisions the team makes

- 61% want to be able to pre-estimate features without being dependent on their team and, more generally, deliver projects on time

- 39% want to get a job in a BigTech company, where tech skills are a must, and 28% already landed a job with a product requiring tech skills

- and now, there's one more reason: AI prototyping is hyper-hyped, and Replit/Bolt just built a full-stack app for you in 2 minutes. But... what actually happened? You really need to understand the principles behind what LLM is doing for you.

If you found yourself in one or more categories, this course will help you, as it has already helped 1500+ students (see the review screenshots below).

✅ WHO IS THE AUTHOR

I am a Lead PM @ Booking.com, started 10 years ago as one of the first Tech PMs in the company. Before that, I was a Software Developer / PhD in Computer Science. I have knowledge from both the tech and product worlds, and I am happy to share it with product managers across the globe.

✅ ONLY WHAT PM SHOULD KNOW, NOT MORE

Even though tech can be fun, it is not necessary (and sometimes harmful) to dive into "how" too much—this is the developer's territory. That's why, in my course, I only focus on "what/why" you need as a product leader. No GIT, no databases internals, no load balancers—you just don't need it to do your job, so kindly leave it for your team and focus on what you should know as a PM—there is already enough to master.

✅ THE COURSE STRUCTURE

1️⃣ Part 1: Live session: Tech 101s

We start with a Tech 101 live session. In 3 hours, we learn and immediately practice the most important tech topics: Frontend/ Backend, Services, APIs, and Testing. If you only do this session, you already know the core.

2️⃣ Part 2: Practice (200+ exercises)

Time to roll up the sleeves. I have a 10-chapter story full of exercises based on real job situations. You will build a Taxi startup, evolving it with a Food delivery department, a Scooter rental app, and even a music streaming service like Spotify! Check the course's table of contents: one by one, you will master these topics with virtual colleagues like the CEO Daniel (he is bossy), Principal PM Jane (she guides), Jr. PM Ivar (he always needs help himself), your Engineering Manager Helen, and so on.

If you want to understand if such a format suits you, check out this mini-lesson, which consists of three small exercises — just get the Free Resource below.

Now, imagine you need to solve 200+ such exercises. Sounds like fun?

3️⃣ Part 3: Live session: building a product architecture together

After you have mastered the theory and practiced yourself, we meet again, choose a product (e.g., a social network for car owners), and build an architecture, API, etc., in groups of PMs. Students love this part!

if the group wants more, I offer an optional session to solve one more start up use case together.

✅ CHOOSE YOUR LEVEL

I understand that everyone has different aspirations and time schedules. That's why you can pick the depth yourself:

- Bare minimum: attend both live workshops

- Solid knowledge: solve all 10 chapters of the exercises; they are self-sufficient in explaining the material (can finish after the cohort's end date)

- Full Package: both live workshops + all 10 chapters of the exercises (can finish after the cohort's end date)

- God Mode: all of the above + one more end-to-end bonus use case with my feedback
