VPs and Directors of Product Management: Finding Excellence

via Udemy

Overview

Succeeding in an intense, stressful, invigorating job

What you'll learn:
  • Lead a product team to create innovative new products
  • Find market success - working with marketing, sales, and customer support teams
  • Drive growth, competitive advantage, and profitability through product strategy
  • Guide, manage, and motivate an excellent product team

This job as a VP of Product, Head of Product, or Director of Product Management has incredible upside opportunities - but it’s not simple to find success in this role.

We need to guide product teams over time…

  • balancing top-level strategy with team-level empowerment

  • finding innovation, customer delight, competitive advantage, and market success

…all while gaining and keeping the confidence of the executives around us.


This course has been designed to help you find this success. To do this, we’ll dive into four areas:

  1. Leading our teams to create innovative new products, working side-by-side with our engineering and technical teams, and our product designers

  2. Finding market success for our products - supporting our sales, marketing, and customer support teams

  3. Driving growth, competitive advantage, and profitability through product strategy

  4. Growing, managing, and motivating an excellent product team


We will include lots of company examples in this course - spanning software, hardware, and services, plus practice activities and case studies. All tools, templates, and course materials are available for download.

If you are in this job today - or are a senior product manager looking to move into this role - my goal is to get you the knowledge, approaches, and tools you need to find excellence.

It's a crazy, tough, rewarding job, and we all need help.

I hope you'll join us!
