Product Management

About The Course

This course will teach you to think like Silicon Valley’s top-performing Product Managers.

How do today’s most successful tech companies—Amazon, Google, Facebook, Netflix, Tesla—design, develop, and deliver the products that have earned the love of literally billions of people around the world? Perhaps surprisingly, they do it very differently than the vast majority of tech companies.

Product Management  shows you how to build and deliver technology products that your customers will love—and that will work for your business.

This is primarily a Learn By Doing course. So we’ll quickly dive into real-world exercises that demonstrate how successful teams build Products.
