In this program, product mindset needed to bring viable products to market was developed. I gained deeper understanding of what it takes to bring a product from idea, to launch, to future iteration which begin by defining the problem a product will solve as you map the customer’s journey and articulate user personas. Also, the course provided ample opportunities to learn important facets of product roadmapping decisions and prototyping through a number of product management activities, including how to partner with designers to create codeless prototypes. The focus then moves to measuring progress against objectives and presenting product learnings to stakeholders. Adequate skills were acquired to build and launch products into production, ensuring end-product success. Show less
