Description

Lesson Concepts :

1. Why does any company need a Product Manager? Preface: Companies are always debating if they need a product manager and you have to be ready to win the seat at the "table".

2. What is Product Management? Who is a Product Manager? Preface: In recent times, companies have distinct Product Owner and Product Manager roles. Product Owner role is tactical whereas Product Manager role is strategic. This topic covers both the aspects of these roles.

3. What is Product Development Life Cycle (PDLC)? Introduction to Product Strategy & Roadmap.  Preface: This is also called as Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) but the difference I see is that PDLC starts from Inception phase and goes beyond Implementation phase whereas SDLC is a part of PDLC that starts at Requirements phase and ends at Implementation.

4. A Day in the life of a Product Manager. Preface: If you are a product owner, your day will be less exhaustive :)

5. Traits of a Delightful Product Manager vs. Mediocre Product Manager. 

6. Using Agile & Scrum in your daily life as a Product Owner. 

7. Artifacts & Tools required as a Product Manager. Preface: ChatGPT and analytical tools like Tableau or Pendo are popular among product people.

8. IT Job Search & Preparation for an Interview. Preface: This is the culmination of your learnings here and any hands on experience you have, to land a job in product management. Try for entry level positions if you are new to product management.
