TECHnical SKILLS
FOR PRODUCT MANAGERs

"Many thanks to the whole team! This is a cool course that helped me see the world of PM from the inside in no time. I had studied in another PM course for almost a year, and it wasn’t even close to such cool practical assignments as yours. You are the best!"

"The best course I’ve taken. A balanced presentation of information. Super-engagement simulator. It was a lucky coincidence that at the time of the course, my team and I had big releases, and once they "dropped" the prod and the information received helped to cope with these cases. A big plus is an access to all the course materials. Oh, and I’ve already signed up for Data driven product management" course :)

"I liked the Tech PM course very much. The presentation of the material is cool - you don't just listen, but participate and solve problems in simulator. The simulator is just amazing. I learned to evaluate the complexity of the architecture and what to do so that your product does not wake you up in the middle of the night to solve some issues."

"Guys!!! This course is a bomb that destroyed my whole idea of my work and my tasks. Firstly, I realized that I can do waaaaaay more than I do now. Secondly, now I know which way to go and even what exactly needs to be done, where to start! It’s very cool! And live workshops are an incredible pleasure. After them, I have a charge of energy and creativity for two or three days :))) Vladimir, you are cool! You are all very cool!"

"One of the best PM courses I’ve taken! Well-structured and really useful content that helps you look at the tech world from a PM’s point of view. And the course is very practical! The highlight is cases from different domains that teach you how to approach a completely incomprehensible task or new area."

"Guys, it’s a very, very cool course: the presentation is cool, and I haven’t seen anything comparable in content. I’ve attended many different courses, and I gotta say, this one is the best. I liked that you give a general theory (how the api works, how top-level architecture is created), and specific tools (sequence diagram, templates for prd and complexity, I use them every day). The presentation is cool, and additional materials and articles are cool. I will miss Jane and Daniel:)"

"The course is useful for PMs who are not only involved in cust dev and strategy but also, rolling up their sleeves, together with the developers bring features to production. Vladimir helped to reassemble individual pieces of knowledge on the technical side, so that behind the trees from "API Endpoints", "dependencies", "SLA" you can now see the forest and understand where the complexity of the product comes from and what to do about it. The course is useful for both beginners and more experienced products, especially if your background is not related to programming."

"I took many courses, but this is the only one that I did not regret paying for in the middle or at the end. I can’t say that I would be ready to become a technical manager immediately after completing the course, but I got a better picture of how it all works. Now I see any service not just as a thing that somehow works but I clearly understand what pieces it consists of and how they interact with each other. Before starting the course, I had been unemployed, so I had to go through many interviews with technical sessions on them. The results of these tech sections — before, during, and after the course — are like chalk and cheese. Before the course, for me those interviews usually ended in the technical sections. During and after the course, I already knew the theory, knew how to approach problems/test tasks, identify clients, services, and their dependencies and successfully complete the technical sections. Without this course, it would have been impossible for me.

"I liked the simulator for its structure and clarity. Besides, it was always straight to the point. It helped me to structure my knowledge, and most importantly, to start putting the knowledge into practice. The course is perfectly balanced in terms of both new information and feedback. After the course, I got access to a huge amount of additional materials and very cool checklists available. I definitely recommend the simulator to those who are starting or already working with technology products."

"The course lived up to all my expectations. At first, it was difficult, since this is really a new direction for a PM of general expertise. But over time, in the simulator, in practice, you begin to pump new skills and get excited. I pumped "neurons in the brain", as Vladimir says. There are very cool simulator cases that you can immediately practice on your product. In the process of training, I used a lot in my work and plan to continue to implement all the materials and tools I have learned into my work."

"A smooth transition from simple to complex in just 4 weeks. A lot of practice and materials in different formats: a simulator, articles, lectures, group work, and a project game. I got a high-level understanding of all parts of the system. Most importantly, the fear that there is something You don’t know -- it’s gone! During the course, I began to ask more questions about the implementation, look at technical documentation, better discuss dependencies, and monitor the technical metrics of services."

"What's particularly cool about this course is that it packs knowledge that you can’t load into your head by simply reading articles and watching videos. If you don’t have a technical background, it’s very difficult to pull it up on your own. So for me, this simulator was a godsend: a high density of knowledge flies into my head through the game and practice + very comfortable conf calls with interesting cases, on which my brain had to really work. Yet it is important to understand that this is not a magic pill (it does not exist), but a very cool portal to the world of tech. I want to go deeper and now the vector is clear."

"A training course that has an author and a soul. This is its key advantage over other programs compiled by anonymous methodologists without real practice in global IT companies. It was interesting and useful! I did not want to miss a single part of the program, not a single article from additional literature. At the zoom workshop, I met smart and passionate people. Designing products together was fun. The diverse backgrounds of the participants fueled the discussion."

"The course flew by in one breath. If you work with a development team but are not a techie yourself, I recommend it. All information is presented in a structured and simple language, the boundaries are marked where information from the PM is very important, and where it is better to leave it to the programmers. There was a lot of practice and cases from different areas, a great opportunity to practice with other PMs. It is worth noting that the course is taught by Vladimir, Group Technical PM in Booking, so there was an opportunity to ask questions "how does it work there?"

"The course just rocks! Everything is cool, literally everything. I have something to compare with, in two years I took a dozen different courses. In short, as an ed tech sommelier, I say, you f*cking rock. It was the most interesting course of all in terms of format, content, and conduct! Webinars are not boring, with practice and analysis of real cases, and to the point. The simulator, thank you for this, perhaps this is the best format available on the market. Everything is designed with a class, links in place, and the discipline of the creators is there as if the course was designed for themselves. I was taught to understand the architecture, and not to be afraid to communicate about API and those metrics. I already use everything at work, and I began to understand the developers, got an ability to speak to them in their language."

"The course is really worth it, it because it really instills skills and the ability to apply them to different areas through working on cases. The course helped me deal with the technical component, start managing a support team and understand what are the ways out of a situation when accidents happen every week, and the support shrugs and says that monitoring shows that everything is stable. Also, the course helped to systematically look at the product and its architecture and start thinking from a higher level on the architecture of related products and product strategy!"

"Thank you very much for the course! It was very cool. The main thing that I liked about the course is that it teaches you how to disassemble any product into its component "bricks", highlighting the main blocks of the architecture. The simulator is very structural: first of all, it helps to understand the basic principles, and then deepen knowledge. The topics covered in the course are very interesting (both SLI/SLO and data protection and security issues are covered.) I also liked that there is a lot of practice in it, and discussions in group classes help to form the skill, which can then be further developed."

"The course is on fire, thank you 💔 I found you just in time. The project is still in the pilot and several times a week I think:" Thank you, Vladimir, for appearing in my life 😅 Such an excursion into the world of developers, at the same time with clear boundaries of where you can and where you don’t need to go. It was helpful to remember the tech part and stir up my brain. Separately, I would like to note that during the entire course you also hear a lot of real cases from colleagues, which, I think, is very cool."

"The course covers what other courses on the market do not even touch. In addition to the ability to find jobs, pains, calculate unit economics, etc., it is imperative for the PM to understand how it all should work, what parts it should consist of, and what can go wrong. This course is about that and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who came into PM sphere not from development."

"For quite a long time I used to delegate the development of the technical side to the team 100% and thought that this did not concern me. Until, during my vacation, our production went down for an hour, and I realized that problems on the architectural side directly affect my product metrics. At "Tech for PM" I was able to clearly separate my area of responsibility and team lead’s one in my head, I understood what technical metrics are and why it is important for me to work with them."

"I couldn't find any more courses on this topic. It's cool that this material is intended for Middle and Senior specialists, there is not much of it either. I liked the playful form, and the peppy language. I also liked that a lot of time was devoted to students' questions at the seminars."

"The course teaches you to look into the technical depth of the product. Once on the course, your brains begin to work continuously, first on practical tasks during the lecture, then on simulators, in addition, there is a game in the department. In just 5 weeks, you get a concentrated amount of useful information. If you value your time and want to spend it usefully, then the course is simply a must-have."

"Exciting! A course created by PMs using a product approach (finally!). Intense, dense, and I am delighted with how you managed to immerse everyone in product work effortlessly. Without platitudes and abstruse turns, professionally and immediately to the point. Special respect for how you used different activities: simulator, self-study, puzzles on the web, group work, additional materials with instructions... I took various courses and enrolled here thinking that I had high expectations, but it turned out to be underestimated: )"

"ProductDo Tech is another way to see the complexity of PM’s work, and one that can sketch the Product Architecture, decompose it into services and APIs, know what is the key and what can be done last. "Playing in the Department" will once again show the complexity of working with the API. Each lesson is reinforced by a simulator on the topic covered. Topics of monitoring, metrics, security, and integration will all be covered and shown in 5 different cases, and one of them will be yours! My neural connections have been created, now they will work for me in my PM job."

"The course has become one of the best I’ve taken lately. First of all, I would like to note the practicality of the course, Vladimir’s ability to explain any complex topic in simple words and, again, reinforce it in practice. I will separately highlight the pool of knowledge and real skills that a PM should have in reality: what we should and should not do, how to communicate with techies, the limits of PM’s responsibility, useful tools, and much more. As a result, you get a set of skills and knowledge for the job of a PM at the level of an international company."

"I really liked it! The material, presentation format, simulators, department! Thanks to Vladimir for all the live lectures! And for participating in those moments that I shared with him! The course is absolutely worth the money! Advice to everyone who has gathered: watch the webinar live, actively participate and do not be afraid that someone is smarter or more experienced."

"My main impression is the presence of individual feedback from onboarding to the last lecture. A lot of point comments, scrupulous analysis of the game in the department, feedback in the simulator, I have not encountered this before and it pleasantly surprised me and was valuable."

"A course with excellent structuring of information and examples that are affected specifically at the Middle / Senior level. I learned a lot. I recommend it to everyone who is already in product management, but wants to expand and deepen their knowledge."
