About this course

Product Management is one of the highest-paid and most impactful roles in tech โ€” and African companies are desperately short of good PMs. This course gives you the frameworks, vocabulary, and hands-on experience to land your first PM role or level up in your current one. You will go from 'what is a PRD?' to managing a real product backlog by the end of week 4.

What you will learn

Learn the core PM frameworks: user stories, PRDs, roadmaps, and OKRs
Conduct proper user research and translate insights into product requirements
Run sprint planning, stand-ups, and retrospectives in a simulated team environment
Use Jira, Notion, and Miro to manage backlogs and communicate product decisions
Build a portfolio of product artefacts you can show in interviews
Get personalised feedback on your product thinking from a working Senior PM
Access a community of PMs across Ghana, Nigeria, and Kenya for peer support
