EVENT DETAILS
Increasing your strategic impact as a product manager
Workshop Overview
Product Management Essentials is an overview course intended for confident product managers who are looking to increase their strategic skills & influence. The intention of this course is to help product managers build a strategic layer onto their core product practices, & focus on the soft skills & 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 & ensure buy-in?

This course is centered on the senior product manager's role between the product team & the broader business. In order for teams to deliver effectively, they need buy-in & support from their stakeholders. You will gain an understanding of how to sharpen your product practice so that it becomes an alignment & educational tool.

What we'll cover on the day
Product Management Essentials is a full-day workshop comprised of six modules. Each module includes a lecture component on theory & practice, interspersed with up to three hands-on activities. This ensures that you have an opportunity to apply & work with concepts in a setting that will answer questions & facilitate critical thinking. The following modules will be covered:

Evaluating opportunity: Understanding how to unpack product assumptions & line up macro data to establish product viability & the foundations for product/market fit
Research techniques: Reviewing a range of research methodologies, beyond the classic interview, that help product teams validate problem & solution
Synthesis: Distilling insights from research & how to collaborate with stakeholders to deepen user understanding & influence
Prioritisation: Covering a range of techniques & their uses for alignment at points of product development lifecycle
Stakeholder management: A deep-dive into organisational relationships & understanding how to build a communication strategy

Things to reflect on before the workshop
Before your training workshop we ask that you take some time to consider the following questions. The more time you take to consider your current situation, & the issues & challenges you face, the more you'll gain from your training:

How much effort do you feel you have invested in stakeholder relationships?
How often do you make an effort to make your process more collaborative?
How do new projects or changes to features happen at your company?
How do you currently collect evidence to support decisions?

Key Takeaways
You will leave this workshop with the skills you need in order to build a strategic layer onto your core product practices. You will understand how to evaluate a potential product idea/change for value, & how to use process as an alignment tool within your company. You'll go back to work with a firm grasp of where you should include your stakeholders as collaborators, understanding how to build effective relationships with said stakeholders, & with the ability to create a communication strategy with your organisation.



Mind the Product Trainers
