About the workshop
Great product managers are anchored by 5 immutable truths. These truths serve as a strong foundation from which to pull as they navigate the rewarding but oh-so chaotic product manager role.
​
Great Product Managers...
-
have exceptionally high customer intelligence
-
are experts at building relationships
-
are master communicators
-
have uncommonly good judgment
-
are fanatical about prioritizing their time
​
Most product management trainings are focused solely on frameworks and methodologies. What makes us unique is that our curriculum and educational approach teaches these work areas, activities, rituals, and artifacts of day-to-day product management through a lens that strengthens the 5 immutable truths. Building and sustaining these foundational skills is what makes great product managers.
​
Participants leave the workshop with a clear picture of what product management is and more importantly HOW TO BETTER DO THE JOB by leveraging these timeless and critical skills.

What is the curriculum for the workshop?We cover the entire product lifecycle and infuse the 5 IMMUTABLE truths (customer intelligence, relationship-building, communication, good judgment & decision making, and fanatical prioritization) throughout all of our learning. These five skills are embedded in everything we do in product management, and so they are embedded in everything we do in this workshop. As we learn about navigating the product lifecycle, we reflect on these 5 truths. We understand their place. We understand and learn how we can leverage them in the activities we’re undertaking and the decisions we’re making. For more information on the curriculum, download the workshop flyer:

Is this a good course for new and aspiring product managers?This is an excellent course for new and aspiring product managers. We cover the entire product management life cycle and infuse the key, timeless skills of customer intelligence, relationship-building, communication, judgment & decision-making, and prioritization throughout the entire learning journey. Setting this foundation early in your product management career positions you well for the future.

While we may cover some things that you already know, it is always a good idea to refresh our perspective with new ideas and approaches. The workshop also, of course, reinforces the important skills of customer intelligence, relationship-building, communication, judgment & decision-making, and prioritization - skills that we are constantly improving upon.
-
Is this a good course for non-product managers (engineers, designers, etc.)?We love to have non-product managers in the workshop! Everything we do in product management is cross-functional and collaborative. No product is successful without a great team. While the workshop itself is positioned towards the product manager role, the perspectives, learnings, and approaches are applicable to all roles in the product ecosystem.
-
I want my entire team attend the workshop? Is it better for them to attend an open workshop or do you offer this workshop privately to companies?Yes, we work with companies all the time training their product teams. We also have product managers from many companies joining the open workshops with their teammates. The general rule of thumb is that if you have fewer than 6 attendees, it's better to send them to an open workshop if possible. If you have 6 or more people on your team you'd like trained, we can do a private corporate workshop specifically for your team. We most often do this in-person at one of you office locations, but we can also do a virtual workshop, depending on your needs and preferences. Contact us to discuss further.
-
What is the price of the workshop?The price is $1,799 USD for both in-person and virtual workshops.

Please contact us if you'd like to have multiple people attend from your organization, so we can give you a discount code for registration. We can also invoice your company for the registration, if you prefer.
-
What if my plans change? Can I get a refund?We understand that things come up and sometimes you need to cancel your registration. Up to 14 days before prior to the workshop, we will refund your full registration if you are unable to attend. Your registration is also transferable to someone else in your organization, so feel free to use that option if it's applicable.
