PM fundamentals in an AI world
For aspiring and early-career PMs. Foundational concepts through the lens of a world where AI is changing what's possible.
Course overview
This course is for people who want to break into product management or are early in their PM career and want to understand how AI is reshaping the discipline. It covers the foundational concepts of product management through the lens of a world where AI is changing what's possible, what's expected, and what good product work looks like.
You don't need a technical background to take this course. You do need to be curious about how products get built, why some products succeed while others fail, and what role a product manager actually plays in all of that.
