You can’t say a product development team is world-class unless it ships products fast, with high quality, consistently. Unfortunately, many teams achieve speed but fail in quality. This course is aimed at professionals in design, product management, and engineering who are interested in learning how to leverage design thinking strategies to streamline their processes and deliver innovative, high-quality products on short timelines. We will showcase the process through real-world case studies, including envisioning, designing, and developing a booking engine prototype for an international hotel chain in 12 days.

Students will learn how to envision a product with a user-centric lens, how to break the grand plan into tangible milestones, and how to build a validation-based operational model to materialize ideas successfully. You will be able to use this problem-solving process for online, offline, digital, or physical products in any global market. This collaborative crash course will enable you to build alignment and get buy-in in a systematic and timely way. By the end of the course, students will have developed the skills required to rapidly build cross-functional consensus and learned a solid product development framework to define an end-to-end product strategy that is actionable, with a clear path to success.
