This program played a vital role in shaping my understanding of product roles and their importance within dynamic organizations. As a professional seeking to pivot into the product management environment, this course not only confirmed my desire to pursue a career change but also instilled the confidence to take the leap.” While project management focuses on managing to a plan, delivering something on-time, and on-budget, product management focuses on delivering the right thing to users based on understanding their real needs. There’s very little value in delivering something on-time and on-budget, if it's the wrong thing.”Testimonials from current students and alumni.
