Human Centered Product Management

Catalog description

Ask any product person what the most important skills are for PMs and they'll say interpersonal dynamics - negotiation, communication, conflict resolution, research and more. This class will look at the role of product management in tech through a human-centered lens, including customers and coworkers. As well, students will experience the Agile-Lean development process and will be creating and testing prototypes. There is one major project: creating a new feature for a fictional business. This class could be taken before or after 147. There will be an additional required Studio/Lab scheduled when class begins.
