towards product ideals and consistently delivers high-impact products.
Organizational excellence demands you have the culture and processes
in place to innovate in an ongoing cadence. Product-centric thinking has
evolved the way we build in the digital world. It’s shifted our focus from
outputs to outcomes, from milestone obsession to user obsession. It should
also change the way we define our vision, develop our people, define our
success, and deliver on our goals which is addressed in this crucial topic.

07 Value Validation & Testing if Customers

Understand your product’s value proposition in the context of value to
your users. It starts analyzing the user problem that you are trying to solve
in comparison to the status quo. This opportunity statement is critical
to guiding feature development as well as how your product will go to
market. Bring a lean mindset to everything you do –get creative with how
teams and resources deliver products. Realizing your product’s purpose
requires translating your vision into metric-based objectives and key results
that are communicated broadly, supported by leadership, and evaluated
frequently. Your product metrics shouldn’t just be part of a monthly
business review, but the driving force behind every product decision.

values: Impact, Risk, and Effort. Focus on the target audience needs and

10 Building a Wireframe, Rapid and Hi-Fidelity

Prototyping
Companies need to develop and introduce new products faster to remain
competitive in this fast-moving modern-day consumer market. Since faster
product development and technology innovation are vital to a company’s
success, rapid prototyping becomes the most crucial element of new
product development. Rapid prototyping achieves the following objectives.
Faster new product development – Rapid prototyping plays a vital role in
the process of creating successful products because it speeds up the new
product development process. Early-stage design/concept validation of the
form, fit, and function of the design. Final stage product verification against
the technical requirement and business objectives. It allows functionality
testing to test the objectives of the concept and to finalize the product
specification. The prototype gives the end-user, client, customer, user
participants hands-on user experience to get feedback.

Key Learning Objectives

Understand Wireframes Prototyping

11 Product Lifecycle Management, Metrics & AI,
Digital Twins
Realizing your product’s purpose requires all products (and companies)
follow a lifecycle across launch, growth, maturity, and decline. It’s not
enough to just ship a product. Driving continual growth demands an agile
product organization that constantly reacts to changing market demands
and launches new products and features every quarter, month, or even
every sprint. This should not be driven by intuition or gut feel but based on
applying advanced AI and ML techniques on the available data.

Key Learning Objectives

Product Lifecycle Management

North Star Metric - User NPS, CSAT, etc.

Agile Methodologies

AI & ML Applications in Product Management

12 Systems Thinking, Critical Thinking & Being

a Change Leader
Systems thinking has been gaining significant interest lately as a
comprehensive approach to introducing organizational change and
development. Through systems thinking, a number of core concepts and
practical tools can be applied to better understand the complexity of each
product ecosystem. Organizational development is a critical and science-
based process that helps organizations build their capacity to change and
achieve greater effectiveness by developing, improving, and reinforcing
strategies, structures, and processes.” In essence, good organizational
change and development require a systems-thinking mindset and an
interdisciplinary, holistic approach to tackling complex organizational
challenges.

13 Designing the Business Model, Targeted
Marketing & Market Analytics

fits into a specific market and where it will gain the most traction with
customers. Target market analysis helps businesses establish strategies
for effective marketing and sales techniques by Assessing the viability
of a product or service, finding new markets and improving the business
strategy. In conjunction with the Business Model canvas it provides a
platform for Innovation and creating enhanced value to the customer.

We all understand the role that consumer behavior and emotions play
in UI/UX design. However, in this piece, you will understand the impact
of the human brain’s functioning on determining the effectiveness of a
marketing strategy and how neuromarketing can help leverage research-
based methods to elevate your UI/UX design process. Insights from various
neuroscientific and behavioral studies give UX designers the idea to
optimize their design process to better predict user behavior rather than
taking guesses by using a few impacts like Brain States, Reactive Triggers
and Empathy Based models.

Key Learning Objectives

Neuro Product Marketing

15 Product Roadmapping & Prioritization
Build on the strengths of your existing strategies and tactics to drive new
growth, learn about product evolution and the impact of decisions on your
product line. Conducting a road-mapping exercise for an innovative new
product Product prioritization is one of the most consistent challenges
we see, especially with larger product teams. While there are numerous
methodologies, it’s critical to define a framework that’s aligned to your
team’s metrics / goals and evaluate against this framework. When in doubt,
put yourself in the shoes of your end user and prioritize those features that
add the most customer value and decide on your roadmap based on that.

Key Learning Objectives
