About the Course
Most product managers spend a large part of their time juggling scattered user insights, writing product documents, analyzing data, and making decisions with limited information. At the same time, the rise of Generative AI is changing how products are researched, built, and improved. The challenge many PMs face today is simple: how do you actually use AI to become a better product manager rather than just another tool in your stack?
This program is designed to help product managers understand how AI can support every stage of the product journey. From identifying customer problems and validating market opportunities to shaping MVPs, defining success metrics, launching products, and learning through iteration, the program will show where AI can help PMs think faster, research better, and build more effectively.
Participants will start with a quick recap of product management fundamentals and then explore practical ways AI can support thinking, research, building, and learning. The focus will be on real workflows and practical use cases so product managers can use AI to move faster, make better decisions, and stay focused on delivering real customer and business value.
Prerequisites
Participants will benefit most if they have prior exposure to product management, business analysis, UX, marketing, founding, or consulting. Familiarity with common product activities such as research, prioritization, roadmapping, and feedback analysis will be helpful. Participants should also be comfortable using everyday digital tools like spreadsheets, presentation tools, documents, and chat-based AI tools.
