Leaders start with the customer and work backwards. They work vigorously to earn and keep customer trust. But the term "customer" is overused: customer service, customer segmentation, customer journeys, customer personas, customer empathy, customer satisfaction, the customer is always right. Learn how to systematically delight your customers with AWIT and AWS!

Leaders are owners. They think long term and don’t sacrifice long-term value for short-term results. Two tools AWIT and AWS recommend to help PMs like you think long term are the PRD (product requirements document) and the PRFAQ (press release/frequently asked questions). This week, you'll draft and critique both!

Thinking small is a self-fulfilling prophecy. Leaders create and communicate a bold direction that inspires results. They think differently and look around corners for ways to serve customers. Join AWIT and AWS to learn how to communicate your own bold direction, whether to customers, investors, or the world!

A broad yet detailed dive into the required fundamentals of Product Management. I highly recommend this course whether you are a beginner or a seasoned PM looking to refine fundamentals.

Great Introduction to Product Management. The homework assignments were great and gave me a taste of what to expect! I wish there was more quizzing on terminology.
