Product Team

Overview

Product Team is a 10-week hands-on program designed for a select cohort of students to experience the full product management lifecycle. From ideation to production specifications, students choose a product they use and love, identify user problems, and develop effective solutions from the ground up.

Guided by experienced PMs, our cohorts gain practical skills and bring their product ideas to life - just like product managers do every day.
