Product Marketing & Management
Foundations
Because having a plan isn't the same as having a product
Being market-driven is more than just a mindset—it’s the differentiator between success and failure.
Foundations gives you the tools and know-how you need to understand your market and the problems it faces, and then use that market knowledge to build and sell products people want to buy. It’s also a prerequisite upon which all our other courses are based.
Understand and master the importance of the Pragmatic Framework, which breaks down all of the activities needed to bring a successful product to market.
Learn to listen to the market, prioritize projects and drive results based on the right information.
