Hear from Our Participants!

"PM1101E was a crash course on the fundamentals of the product management role. It challenged my assumptions and made me re-think how I structured my approaches to problem solving. The most important takeaway? Talk to your users. They're the ones you're building for, and through many trials and iterations, we eventually figured out what worked. I encourage anyone who has an interest in Product Management to try!"

"PM1101E has provided a beginner friendly way to learn about product management, and has also been able to give access to a community of like-minded people who are interested in product, providing networking opportunities. Through the sharings by actual product managers in various industries, it has provided us a realistic glimpse into how product managers think, and how to break into product management as a student."

"PM1101E gave me a good grasp of the complexities of product management. I was able to learn from PMs about various PM fundamentals such as user research, and product metrics, all of which play their own role in contributing towards product decisions. PM1101E was an enriching experience and it has motivated me to continue exploring the field in greater depth."
