What does a technical product manager do?

General Assembly’s Product Management course teaches the end-to-end product management (PM) process to a real-world scenario, from evaluating users and managing a roadmap to creating a minimum viable product (MVP) and developing metrics.

What you'll accomplish

This is a beginner-friendly program with no prerequisites, although students may have had exposure to product development concepts or be informally taking on PM responsibilities in their current role. Throughout this expert-designed program, you’ll:

• Determine key risks and assumptions of a product in order to prioritize research and discovery work.
• Validate hypotheses by gathering user feedback via MVPs, interviews, experiments, and testing.
• Execute competitive research to highlight market gaps and trends.
• Speak fluently with developers, user experience designers, and other business stakeholders about priorities, requirements, and workflow.
• Apply metrics alongside objectives and key results (OKRs) to measure a product’s success and track its life cycle.
• Apply what you’ve learned to create a portfolio project: a presentation detailing your product creation strategy.
