Course overview
Become a Requirements Master with This Course
UX designers, UX researchers, product owners, and product managers don't just deliver solutions.
At the heart of it all, they solve problems.
They're either solving problems for users, for clients, for colleagues, or for a business for which they work. Problem-solving is at the heart of ALL the work.
Teams also need to communicate the significance of the problem and convince people why it's worth solving. Without doing this, they're simply taking orders and who knows if the solution will actually meet needs in the world. It depends on whether you're solving the right user problems in the first place.
This class teaches you how to solve the right problem, and how to solve the problem correctly.
Take a deep dive in product management and product strategy with this masterclass. The next time someone asks for a solution, you'll be equipped with tools to break it down into user problems, user goals, user need, and more. Through this you will build better things for the world and empower teams to do better work.
