Are you planning to advance your career beyond the pure technical execution of junior positions to a Staff Engineer and beyond?

Do you want to work on cutting-edge technologies and innovations but feel stuck with execution work and don’t have any exposure to the strategic product initiatives and roadmap?

Have you ever struggled to convince your product manager to plan a code refactoring but failed as it does not affect customers in an obvious way?

Or have you ever been in a situation when you were asked to build a feature without context on WHY it is needed?

Perhaps you are de-facto playing a PM role in a tech startup that does not have a product team yet, even in the formal software engineer role, and want to know how the product management process really works?

Finally, maybe you are considering whether transitioning to a Product Manager role could be your next career challenge.

If any of these questions resonate with you, we are inviting you to join us at the course Learn Product Management to Grow as an Engineer!

You will learn the end-to-end product management process, from defining product vision and strategy through product discovery to launching a product to market.

This knowledge is a must-have for those  looking to grow to a Staff Engineer and above, as your influence must extend beyond the engineering team and technical expertise. You will need to understand how key strategic product decisions are made to inject engineering context there and how to bring the most value to your business and customers.

It's common practice in many companies to require people to demonstrate their ability to perform new role duties before promoting them. So, a strong strategy to get ahead is periodically showcasing your product skills, gaining more exposure to strategic product roadmap, and using the knowledge from this course to boost your career.

Moreover, if you can speak the Product team's language and understand what drives their decisions, it will be much easier to frame your requests in a way that appeals to them. This can be an indispensable tool for pushing your engineering ideas forward.

The Course includes:

• 7 hours of HD videos on product management with real-life up-to-date examples.

• 50+ methods, tools, and frameworks used in product management in 2024.

• A step-by-step "homework" for working on your own challenge (optional).

• Quizzes to check your learning progress.

• 100+ downloadable PDFs with lecture summaries and additional resources you can refer to so that you can quickly refresh the course content and further expand your knowledge.

• Learners community where you can connect with your instructor and the other students of the course to ask questions, give and receive support, and get an extra hit of accountability.

• New course lessons and updates. As building a good product is all about continuous improvements, we will be adding new materials and resources to the course - to reflect your feedback, our new experience, and industry trends.

And yes, If you don't like the course, you can get a refund within 30 days, of course! So just try it.

Upon explicit request, we will provide you with a signed certificate of completion from FutureVersity - an educational company helping people learn and practice product management (this is in addition to Udemy's certificate).

You'll find more details on how to get your certificate in the course.

Your instructors:

Hi, I'm Frank, founder of Sundog Education. As one of Udemy's top instructors, I've had the privilege of teaching over one million people around the world in the fields of data engineering, machine learning, AI, and technical management.

Before my teaching career, I spent nine years at Amazon headquarters, where my career spanned from senior engineer to senior manager - ultimately leading the engineering team for IMDb and racking up 17 issued patents in my field.

As part of the senior management team, I worked across the organization ensuring our engineering strategy aligned with our product strategy, and that's what this course is about.

Understanding product management is a useful skill for any engineer seeking career growth, and I'm excited to offer Anna's expertise to you!

Hi, I'm Anna - Founder and Lead Instructor at Futureversity - an Edutech platform helping people advance their product management skills.

Before starting FutureVersity, I was a Product Director of a series B AI startup based in Singapore, where I relocated six years back to do an MBA program.

In my role, I built the product function from scratch and launched an alpha version of the no-code application platform as a service for automating complex cognitive tasks.

I'm also a Product Management mentor who helped over 20,000 (and counting!) students and mentees to move to Product Management from various backgrounds, including Software Engineering.
