Description: This class is designed to teach you the skills to figure out how to start a new product/feature initiative. It’s designed for product managers who are used to working with existing products and making small, iterative improvements with comprehensive data - folks who are going to start a product from zero. Most PMs are used to working with existing products and aren’t familiar with starting new initiatives, be it a major new feature or even a completely new product. The skills required to do the former often involve tactics like creating a hypothesis and A/B testing to see if you achieve your goal, looking at customer funnels from your analytics, and more. But when you are starting from a blank page, none of those tools are available to you. You need a different product management toolkit. This class will help you learn those tools.
