Workshop Overviews Chose from five excellent workshops with expert trainers. Please note that the workshops are run in parallel so you can only attend one of them: Product Management Foundations Foundations 101 is an overview course intended for individuals who hold the title of Product Manager, or have some working knowledge of the product development process. The intention of this course is to help product managers develop a broader understanding of their role. It seeks to answer the questions: What are the core functions and primary responsibilities of a product manager? What does good product management look like? How do product managers know if they are adding value? As such, the course is tightly focused on running an effective core team that is centered around inquiry-driven development process. Participants will improve their understanding of customer problems and perspectives, solution testing, delivery mechanisms, and team process. What we’ll cover on the day Foundations 101 is a full-day workshop that is comprised of nine modules. Each module includes a lecture component on theory and practice interspersed with up to three hands-on activities.

Communication & Alignment (previously Product Management Essentials) Communications & Alignment for Product Managers is an overview course intended for confident product managers who are looking to increase their strategic skills and influence. The intention of this course is to help product managers build a strategic layer onto their core product practices, and focus on the soft skills and influencing tactics that are often needed to ensure effective product delivery. It seeks to answer the questions: How can product managers increase organisational understanding of product practice? What parts of their process can be used as tools for increased alignment? How can product teams craft an evidence-driven product vision and ensure buy-in? This course is centered on the senior product manager’s role between the product team and the broader business. In order for teams to deliver effectively, they need buy-in and support from their stakeholders. Participants will gain an understanding of how to sharpen their product practice so that it becomes an alignment and educational tool. What we’ll cover on the day Communication & Alignment is a full-day workshop comprised of six modules. Each module includes a lecture component on theory and practice interspersed with up to three hands-on activities. This ensures that participants have an opportunity to apply and work with concepts in a setting that will answer questions and facilitate critical thinking. The following modules will be covered: Evaluating opportunity: Understanding how to unpack product assumptions and line up macro data to establish product viability and the foundations for product/market fit Implementing user research: Breaks down the components of running a user research round and what is needed to ensure maximum value of the time invested Research techniques: Reviewing a range of research methodologies, beyond the classic interview, that help product teams validate problem and solution Synthesis: Distilling insights from research and how to collaborate with stakeholders to deepen user understanding and influence Prioritisation: Covering a range of techniques and their uses for alignment at points of product development lifecycle Stakeholder management: A deep-dive into organizational relationships and understanding how to build a communication strategy About your Trainers Emma Mulholland, Product Manager Emma is a Product Manager at ShopKeep.

Prior to this Hilary held the role of Senior Product Manager at software consultancy Pivotal Labs where she focused on mobile apps in the B2B and B2C space. Product Metrics  Every product manager understands that they need to gather evidence to help them make decisions and set the right strategy and priorities, yet simply having a massive data warehouse and analytics skill sets doesn’t help you ask the right questions or come to the right conclusions.   How can product managers take a human-centered approach to measurement?  The third full-day workshop offered by Mind the Product seeks to answer this question; how can we take a product mindset on metrics.   This workshop will be framed very differently from the usual Metrics workshops because it specifically focuses on the role of the product manager in driving a common understanding throughout the product development lifecycle. In the workshop we’ll address how product managers can work with their teams to create a strong metrics practice that’s set-up for long-term success, answering the following questions: How do you put a product mindset around metrics?   How can Product Managers flesh out the One Metric That Matters and locate it within the ecosystem of other metrics? How do you work with data to help experiment towards the most valuable experiments? What can a product manager do to ensure that metrics are implemented and tracked properly during the build process? What does a product team need to report on as they track metrics? How can you create a metrics-driven culture? Although these are simple questions on the surface, the answers to them are seemingly infinite. This course is a practical, actionable life raft in a sea of competing terms, formulas, theories, and approaches. It was created to ensure that you take the ideas and frameworks within it directly to your job the following day. Take this course if you: Want to hear specifically how product managers work with metrics Prefer pragmatic, actionable insights over theories that sound good but never tie back into your job as a product manager Want to understand the “one metric that matters” for various types of business models and stages Want to hear specific details and scenarios about working with cross-functional teams to implement metrics tracking Want to get hands-on with business scenarios that will let you work with metrics concepts throughout the course of the day Want to hear about pitfalls you should watch out for along the analytics journey Want to spark inspiration from the 100+ different metrics - used by businesses of all sizes and verticals - that are sprinkled throughout this course This class is tailored towards working product managers, ideally who have worked with products through various stages of development. The class is hands-on and requires deep reflection from participants on what has worked for them in the past, and how their process could evolve. Metrics and analytics inform almost everything you do. Whether you’re refreshing your memory or expanding your understanding, you’ll be practicing all day to apply metrics and analytics to real-world situations. Come to class with a product, service, brand, or entire company in mind - there will be several opportunities to explore how you’d apply these theories and frameworks to real-life situations.   Key Takeaways At the end of the session participants will come away with a sense of what frameworks they can implement immediately, as well as a grounded understanding of how to ensure that your users stay at the heart of the measurement process.
