Overview
Product managers within product development teams focus on successfully executing the product lifecycle — from conception to retirement.
In this course, you'll explore product lifecycles by learning how to conduct user and market research to identify problems, create a hypothesis and ideate solutions to those problems. You'll also explore prototyping techniques to test the viability, value, feasibility, usability and morality of the ideas.
Finally, you'll collaborate as a product manager as you partner with a development team on a multidisciplinary capstone project. This project allows you to apply your project management skills to design/develop a product or service that addresses real-world user needs.
