Strengthening foundations, filling gaps and laying the groundwork for high-rise product managers and product owners.

About this course

Product Management is about helping your company succeed by building scalable products that solve customer problems. Whether you’re an experienced product manager, product owner or are completely new to the game, there’s a complex array of challenges to navigate.

One thing that great product managers and product owners have in common is a self-awareness of where their strengths lie and where they have opportunities to grow.

Product Management Foundations provides a navigational map of the various elements of product management, helping you orient yourself, understand your strengths, identify your growth opportunities and arm you with the tools and resources required to support your self-directed learning journey.

Doing a great job as a product manager today is about knowing how best to spend your time. It’s about being confident in what you’re doing, and what you’re choosing not to do.

Product Management Foundations will also help you figure out, with immediate effect, where you should be spending more time to gain more leverage for your product, and what things you can say no to.
