WHO YOU'LL BE LEARNING FROM:

Irene is an industry leader in technical training for product managers and high-performance product teams. With over 10 years of experience as a full-stack software engineer, she’s developed highly scalable software at Amazon, Northwestern Mutual, and various startups.

Irene has mentored product managers, directors, and startup founders at top companies, helping them improve their communication with engineering teams. Since 2020, through her work at Skiplevel, she has trained over 1,000 product managers at more than 350 companies, including IBM, Amazon, and BP.

Do you struggle with any of the following?

❓ Asking the right questions during technical discussions.

❓ Find it hard to prioritize features due to technical complexities.

❓ Experience miscommunication with engineers.

❓ Gaining the trust and influence of engineers.

If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone!

As a product manager, guiding a product from concept to launch is your responsibility. But when technical conversations leave you feeling stuck or unsure, it can chip away at your confidence. Many PMs struggle with imposter syndrome due to a lack of confidence in their technical acumen.

Coding is the Least Effective Way to Become More Technical

You might think learning to code is the key to becoming more technical, but that’s not the most effective path. Being technical as a product manager means:

💡 Knowledge of available technologies and their applications.

💡 Knowing how product decisions impact implementation.

💡 Communicating with engineers.

💡 Comprehending technical materials.

💡 Grasping the SDLC and your role in it.

Coding won’t teach you these essential skills. Sure, learning how to write "for-loops" and assign variables is critical for a developer, but it's meaningless for anyone else. Instead, this course focuses on what you really need to succeed as a non-technical product manager.

Skiplevel is offering a two-week intensive course offering a dynamic blend of self-paced learning and live workshops. It’s designed to help non-technical product managers understand and apply technical concepts, enhancing your leadership and collaboration abilities.

To succeed, you’ll need:

✅ Time Commitment: Carve out 3 hours on Sundays for live intensive sessions, plus 4-6 hours during the week for self-paced study.

✅ Expected Effort: Actively participate in live sessions, complete projects, and engage in discussions while getting to know your peers.

✅ Engage: Participate fully in workshops, ask questions to clarify questions, and apply what you learn through real-life scenario-based workshops.
