This course addresses the unique challenges product managers (PMs) face in leading products and teams. Through case studies, role-playing, and insights from experienced guest speakers, students will explore the wide range of situations PMs encounter in organizations large and small. Specifically, students will learn to:

  • Balance the competing demands of short- and long-term product growth
  • Drive alignment across cross-functional teams and company leaders with differing priorities and perspectives
  • Manage and recover from challenging or failed product launches
  • Lead teams through successes and setbacks
By the end of the course, students will have learned strategies and tactics seasoned PMs use to navigate organizational challenges, unite teams, and ship products. They will gain insight into what sets exceptional PMs apart and apply those learnings in their own roles.

This course is ideal for current or aspiring PMs or professionals seeking to elevate their leadership and strategic thinking skills.
