What students say about this module?
- Loved the fact that you need to think :) Caught the excitement of doing my best first and then understand the logic where I was wrong.Marina
- I've got trapped by a task! Finally realised why I need to calculate SOM and how it can help me!Igor
- There are no ready formulas and this is amazing: you have to find it on your own and calculate a lot! After a hundred tries, you're gonna learn!Alexander
- I really liked the fact that it's not a test where you need to check the right boxes but you have to create a sheet to calculate the model! Such practice is the best to learn the study!Nina
- The lesson is great: global and very essential at the same time. Interactive tasks for specific cases were super interesting and useful!Max
- I liked the feeling that I was operating during the task as a real PM at work!Oleksandr

Simulator Program
You will face real-life cases that require product decisions to be made in a startup that launches a clothes rental service. You'll need to step in as a Product Manager to understand customers' needs, find the achievable market size, and build unit-economics.
Not taking everything for granted but challenging everything is an important PM skill. It's not enough to say that everything is undefined, you have to build a lot of product hypotheses and then prioritize and validate them.
You will learn:
→ the JTBD methodology to build hypotheses
→ how to prepare questions for customers' interview
What it looks like:
→ you're going to select hypotheses to validate them
→ polish their formulas to make them more efficient
→ the chapter will take about an hour to work with

Defining and launching an MVP is one of the pillars of product work because it allows you to try hypotheses, spending days instead of years and hundreds instead of millions of investments. MVP is your new approach to any project and any feature.
You will learn:
→ several examples of MVPs of top companies
→ MVP structure and MVP Canvas Template
What it looks like:
→ step by step filling out the MVP Canvas for a clothing rental startup
→ you apply the MVP approach for a separate feature
→ at the end - a convenient MVP checklist for use at work
→ the chapter will take about two hours to work with
