FAQs

Who’s this course for?

This course caters to a diverse range of professionals, including experienced individuals with at least five years of engagement in product-led roles, product team leaders seeking to enhance their leadership skills and effectiveness in managing product teams, and portfolio managers responsible for overseeing a portfolio of products. With tailored content and insights relevant to each of these roles, participants can expect to gain valuable knowledge and strategies to excel in their respective domains.

What does the course cover?

This course explores developing and customizing three essential roadmaps to align with your objectives. It also explores various methods for effectively communicating roadmaps and determining optimal usage scenarios. Finally, it teaches you how to employ color coding, thematic elements, and supplementary details to foster trust and instill confidence in your role as a product manager and leader.

How long will it take me to complete the course?

It depends on how quickly you work your way through all the materials. The course itself comprises 7+ hours of content in which you’ll be required to complete exams. On top of that, you’ll be given access to bonus footage and although this isn't mandatory, we’d recommend giving it a watch!
​
Finally, you’ll also be given the option to complete coursework tasks as you go - these aren’t mandatory either, but they’re well worth getting stuck into to help you put everything you’ve learned into practice and walk away with a pack of actionable takeaways to go and apply right away.

What happens once I’ve completed the course?

A couple of things. Providing you’ve passed all the exams, you’ll be issued your certificate pretty much on the spot. You’ll also be given entire access to all the content for life, so if you wanna brush up on anything down the line, you’ll be able to refer back to every video, template, and coursework task whenever you want.
