Over 20+ modules are designed for you to jump in and out so you can learn whilst you work, travel, or between exercises.

In this topic, we'll first help you understand what the Product function is responsible for. Then we'll dive into the role of a Product Manager and understand how they can contribute to this function.

We'll also discuss the difference between the different types of Product Managers (e.g. B2B vs B2C, physical vs digital products, Startup PM vs Corporate PM).

The topics we'll cover:

  • The importance of Product Management
  • What does the Product Management function do?

  • How to look out for good product ideas? 
  • How to manage product ideas using an ideas backlog

Setting up objectives is one of the hardest topics in Product Management. How do you use OKR's? When is the best time to use Top Down metrics vs Bottom-Up metrics? How do I write goals that can be communicated easily? This is what we'll cover in this topic: 

  • How to set up objectives 
  • How to avoid vanity metrics
  • How to use Top-Down metrics to set up Product Goals
  • How to use bottom-up metrics for features

"Assume" and you'll make an ASS out of U and Me". Assumptions are the killer of businesses and responsible for the bad product in the market.

To be a great PM, you need to break down your ideas into Problem, Solution and Business goals. Then highlight all the assumptions in the idea so you can test them systematically. Topic we'll cover in this topic is:

  • How to come up with a validation plan
  • The 3 Steps to Break down an Idea
  • Using an elevator pitch to break down ideas
  • Using an assumption map to prioritise your assumption
  • How to use Quantitative & Qualitative data to validate assumptions

You can't be a great Product Manager until you are comfortable speaking with your customers on a regular basis.

"If you know yourself and your enemies, you'll win all your battles" - Sun Tsu from the Art of War.

This quote is what market research is all about. You need to understand the market dynamics of your product and gain market share from your competitor's blindspots.

In this topic, we'll cover:

  • How use the market dynamics matrix to assess product risk

The term MVP is confusing. Every business has its own definition, and every product team use it differently.

- “Is a landing page an MVP? Or a beta product an MVP?”
- “Is MVP an experiment?”
- “I don’t have any technical skills, can I still build an MVP?”
In this topic, we'll debunk the myths around MVPs and how to use it properly. Topics we'll cover are: 

  • How to use prototypes and MVP's to validate an idea
  • How to use MVP's to capture proprietary data
  • Step by step process to create MVP's

So you’ve spent the past few weeks talking to customers, doing market research and you’ve landed on an idea that solves a real need. Now what?

Design is an Iterative Process. Great designs require multiple iterations to get created. It’s unlikely for a design to be right on the first go.

From my experience, even for simple features, it takes at least 3–5 iterations before it gets into coding. In this topic, I'll show you the end to end process on how to create great designs and PM's can work with designers properly. The topics we'll cover: 

  • Introduction to Product Design
  • How designers work with Product Managers
  • What makes good design 
  • The iterative design process & the 4 different design iterations
  • Step by step guide to creating great designs

A product strategy is a high-level plan that describes how your product intends to achieve your companies goals.

The strategy paints a picture of what the future might look like, the current landscape, and provides a solution to a validated customer problem. 

A great product strategy is stubborn on vision but flexible on details. It’s stubborn on the business goals and the customer problems, but flexible to cater for changes in market, timing and product scope. In this topic, we'll cover:

Roadmapping is not easy. Every company demands different types of Roadmaps, and every PM has their own flavour.

A great roadmap ensures the product team understand what they are working towards, by aligning the product to the company’s short term and long term goals.

In this topic, we'll show you the end to end process of creating a product roadmap, what you need to do, and I'll show you a real-life demonstration using Aha and ProductBoard. Topics we'll cover are:

Career Skill Courses

Your Product resume speaks a thousand words about you.

Do you have the right experience? Do you have the right product mindset? Are you a good communicator? Do you have a personal brand that's attractive to the hiring manager? All these can be discovered from your resume.

The best product managers have the right keywords to beat the bots and the right language to attract hiring managers. In this topic, I'll show you: 

  • How your resume is not a menu but a brochure
  • Three principles of writing a great resume
  • Coming up with your origin story for your resume
  • Good PM resume examples vs Bad PM resume examples
  • What to include in your resume
  • Designing your resume to beat the bots
  • Real examples of Cover Letters & Resume templates for download

Preparing for interviews is like preparing for an exam. You don't turn up to an exam and expect to ace it without any preparation. So you need to be ready before you get into an interview.

The preparation usually takes about 4-5 days before the interview. It's not the amount of work that's required but our brain needs to sleep to store information in our long term memory. 

In this topic, I'll show you my secret formula to prepare for interviews, and give you the tools you need to succeed.

  • How to prepare for a product manager interview 
  • How to research for the company
  • Creating an origin story for yourself
  • How to answer behavioural questions
  • How to prepare for leadership questions
  • How to prepare for analytical questions
  • How to practice interview with a partner + 50 most common questions

You'll get downloadable templates and my personal answers for each of the questions above. 

Once you've passed your first 2 rounds of interview, most companies would give you some kind of take-home task to do. Usually, these tasks would come in the following forms:

  1. Design a new feature
  2. Solve a business or customer problem
  3. Competitor / market research
  4. Come up with a product strategy 

In this topic, I'll show you how to complete these take-home tasks by showing you a step by step process of how I've done it. I'll even include 4 past examples from my interviews so you can use them as a guide. Topics we'll cover: 

  • How to approach take-home tasks
  • Example of my past take home task
  • How to go above and beyond what's required
  • How to approach in-person tasks in an interview
  • Downloadable examples of my past take-home tasks

Side projects are a big advantage in the job market - it demonstrates you have the initiative to take action and not afraid to get your hands dirty.

Most great Product Managers I've worked with have some sort of side projects to build their entrepreneurial brand.

In this topic, I'll show you: 

  • The mindset of building side projects
  • Examples of my past side projects
  • How to get side project ideas and inspirations
  • No-code tools you can use to help you build side projects

Networking is one like farming - you want to plant the seeds before you need them. The product management industry is still relatively small compared to others. Most good roles are offered around the networks before it is made public.

The purpose of networking within the industry is to become 'top of mind' when opportunities arise so you'll be the first to call. In this topic, I'll show you:

  • The mindset of networking
  • Networking internally vs networking externally
  • Making internal moves via networking
  • Making internal transitions 
  • Tips to network externally with other PM's
  • How to start a conversation in networking sessions

Who is this Community for?

Mid-Career Professionals

You are a mid-career professional eager to transition into a Product Management role. (BA, Design, Eng, PO, Project Manager, Scrum Master, etc)

The "Unofficial" Product Manager

You're doing the Product Manager job but don't have the product management title. You want to learn the job properly so you can bullet-proof your career. 

Product Managers Stuck in Your Company

You have some experience in your current company but never had formal training. You want to fill in the gaps with real-world knowledge so you can have the option to stay or go.

 

❤️ Preparing you for your Product Career Journey

Breaking into Product Management takes about 12 months, and you can't get 'Certified' as a PM, unlike what most institutions sell.

Here's what actually happens based on what I've seen coaching hundreds of students:

Most people take about 6 - 12 months to transition into the Product Manager role. Depending on their experience, skills, and job market opportunities

---
The first 6 months of the journey involve having the right knowledge before embarking on the competitive job market. You don't have to do this full-time. Learn the PM mindset and apply it in your day job.

The following 6 months of the journey focus on building a network, marketing yourself, and seizing opportunities. 
The trick is to build a pipeline of opportunities and be ready when the experience/market fit role comes. 

---

From my experience, most people can transition in about 8 - 9 months without quitting their day jobs.
