PRODUCT MANAGEMENT

Course Description

Product management is the process of making the right product that solves the right problem for the
right person at the right time. The right person is the customer, who along with business and
technology, make up the heart of the product management process. It is the process by which a vision
or idea becomes a valuable product.

The project manager is an extremely important person in an organization. You will typically find product
managers at companies that build software or products for customer or business-to-business use.

The product manager is the CEO of the product. They are responsible for the strategy and roadmap for
the product, as well as the team of employees that are involved in every step of making the product.

The product manager has the responsibility of analyzing the markets and watching the competition, and
laying out the initial product vision based on his assessments. The project manager has duties that are
both strategic and tactical, and must have excellent leadership skills. He must be able to bridge the gaps
between the many different teams working on a product, from design and engineering to sales and
marketing.

Let's think of Apple, Inc. It has several products, such as the iPhone, iPad, iTunes, Apple TV, and more.
Each one of those products has one product manager that guides the product process from origination
to completion. In the case of the iPhone, the project manager will have thousands of employees under
him, including many junior project managers. The project manager will report directly to the CEO. A
note, Steve Jobs started out as a project manager, and many project managers advance to top executive
roles in their companies, including CEO.

Let's use an example as we discuss project management and its many intricacies.

Company ABC is a tech company that builds software for the service industry. Their client, XYZ Hotels, is
a large chain of upscale hotels, and they are looking for a new software program that will help them
better manage their hotels. Company ABC will use product management to develop and produce this
product.

The project manager sees the product through from conception to final completion. This is called the
product lifecycle.

There are many different styles of product management, and in this course, we will be focusing on the
agile methodology and in particular, Scrum, a variant of agile that is specifically used in software
development.

Scrum is a product management framework that uses teams of about seven people, each with their own
role. Scrum provides a clear structure for team members, meetings and rules. The teams work in 1-2
week periods called Sprints. These sprints are usually around 1-2 weeks long, but are never longer than
a month. The goal of each Sprint is to build a shippable product increment.

In this course you will learn what a product manager does, how the software product development
process works, and how to work within the agile and scrum frameworks. You will also learn what it takes
to be a product manager at top companies like Google, Microsoft and Apple.

COURSE DESCRIPTION

This is an introductory course designed to help you develop an understanding and awareness of the essentials of
managing and of the way organizations behave. By exploring the four pillars of management: planning, organizing,
leading, and controlling, we will discover how organizations leverage their scarce resources to achieve their goals. The
objective of this course is to provide students an overview of the field of management, and insights into the concept of
organizational structure. This task will be accomplished by introducing participants to the history, lexicon, and
practices of management as a field of study, and its present position in terms of both theory, practice, and the
standing as a profession. This process will entail the use of such pedagogical tools as: case incidents, research,
interactive exercises, current thinking, literature review, and relevant examinations.
By the time this course is over, you should know the basic terminology of management, and, hopefully, some more
about how to succeed in managing, and whether or not managing is for you. While working through this course,
please keep in mind that although easy to understand, managing is not so simple to do. Managing is deceptively
simple; anyone can easily read and understand the book you will be using. However, most businesses that fail do so
because of bad management. Therefore, strive to have fun and learn as much as you can in this course; having a good
understanding of the principles of management is vital in today’s marketplace!
