Product Management
Find the right problem, rank the work, write it down clearly and ship it with your team
Beginner to Intermediate4 lessonsabout 24 min of reading
This course is for people who want to move into product management or who already do part of the job without the title: developers who get asked "what should we build?", analysts, designers, founders and students preparing for associate product manager interviews. It treats product management as a handful of repeatable habits rather than a personality type.
By the end you will be able to run a set of customer interviews without leading the witness, turn the notes into a clear problem statement, rank a backlog with several frameworks and know where each one misleads you, write a one-page PRD with user stories and acceptance criteria, pick metrics that mean something, and run a launch and a planning conversation that engineers and designers actually want to attend.
The lessons follow the life of a product decision. You start by understanding the problem, then decide what to work on first, then write the work down, and finally measure it, ship it and keep the team aligned. Every lesson uses its own worked example with templates you can copy into your own notes.
