Product Management Certificate


In eCornell Certificate Programs 

Product management is among today’s most desirable skill sets, often serving as a direct path into executive leadership in organizations and making or breaking success for entrepreneurs. In this program, you will develop the product mindset needed to bring viable products to market. The courses are designed to give product managers a deeper understanding of what it takes to bring a product from idea, to launch, to future iteration. You will begin by defining the problem a product will solve as you map the customer’s journey and articulate user personas. You’ll have the opportunity to learn important facets of product roadmapping decisions and prototyping through a number of product management activities, including how to partner with designers to create codeless prototypes. The focus then moves to measuring progress against objectives and presenting product learnings to stakeholders.
