Outcomes & Pathways
What this course offers and how you will benefit
Build confidence in product management and become equipped with the foundations and skills to succeed as a Product Manager. The creation, definition, delivery, monitoring and refinement of products is critical to organisational success. Understanding customers needs to provide the best product to customers and improving customer experience is critical.
Product management requires a range of skills, including working with cross-functional teams and customers to develop solutions that are well considered yet delivered interactively and rapidly. Prioritisation and an ability to adapt, presenting ideas and creating constructive feedback forums and measurement tools for continuous improvement practices, will all be explored in the context of a product idea that you can bring with you to the course.
The course is designed for people with a range of product management experience, from those moving into product management roles, entrepreneurs or small business owners who recognise the importance of sound product development for success, or seasoned product managers looking for professional development opportunities.
