Product Management Courses
What Does Good Product Management Look Like For My Organization?
The number one reason you take a product management training course is to learn what world-class product management looks like for your products and your organization so you can deliver higher value products that keep new buyers coming and current customers paying.
Here’s the deal. If you’re a product manager, the number one thing that makes your job so difficult is everyone thinks they can do it better than you because they think they know the market and customers better.
Imagine that your product management team understands the market and the customers better than all other disciplines combined, and that knowledge commands the respect and trust of all stakeholders, including executives.
That’s the number one goal of our personalized product management courses. We’ll teach you how to do it for your products, your markets and your customers with hands-on learning so that everyone understands what goes into your product decisions and trusts them (even though they may not agree)!
That level of market and the customer knowledge is also the key to strong alignment with design and engineering teams, simplifying execution and delivering higher-value products customer love.
Our hands-on personalized product management courses combines the best of all the best practices from all other frameworks, fine tunes them for B2B/B2B2C with common terminology and makes them simple to understand and adopt.

“When leading an executive presentation for an innovation initiative, I found that Product Management University's customer outcomes approach to roadmap themes that I learned from their workshop was a perfect fit. It stitched together the "why" behind what we are doing and the customer-sourced insights I was communicating. This set the stage for taking the next steps in our process. Their workshop challenged how I think about roadmaps and resulted in delivering home an effective message of what we are doing and why we are doing it. I'd recommend you check John's stuff out!”
“I really liked the focus on simplicity and practicality, and understanding where others may have pitfalls. The framework is excellent, and I think really helps understand how to take strategy and make it actionable, tied to value. Very well done!!”
“Our entire product team took this course while in the midst of planning a line of brand new products and this could not have come at a better time. I’d also recommend having a copy of Managing Products to Deliver Solutions by John Mansour at your desk as a quick reference.”
“I really enjoyed how the class flowed. John would share a concept. We would then take that concept and do an exercise around the concept. We would come back together as a class and share our work. The teams would sometimes miss the mark with their work but that was ok. John would take what they had prepared and coach them to the right answer. I feel that I was able to retain more of the concepts of the course because of this practice. Thank you for the great course!”
“I really loved this course and the breakout sessions. This 3 day course was fun, collaborative and strategically simplified without a dull moment. You’re an awesome trainer and I can tell you have a passion for helping companies and individuals in being successful. This is a great addition to my Safe Lean Agile POPM certification, if not better! I would definitely recommend this course to my PM family in the Healthcare and Fintech industry.”
“I have twice participated in product management workshops delivered by John to product teams I manage. These have been very well received and have provided my team members with a great foundation of PM skills. John customizes the content to the type of products the team is working on, and makes it very relatable. These sessions also serve as a team-building exercise. I highly recommend this course.”
Your Instructor
Product and Career Success
My top priority is that you understand how to apply B2B product and portfolio management practices to your everyday job, your products and your markets. That's why we do it together in the classroom so you won't have to figure it out after the training.

No Silos. No Redundancies. No Inconsistencies.
How many product management frameworks can you realistically adopt while handling all the responsibilities of your job and still keep your sanity?
If you're feeling completely overwhelmed by all the product management frameworks, agile frameworks, continuous discovery frameworks, Jobs To Be Done frameworks, positioning frameworks, launch frameworks and on and on, you're not alone.
Our B2B Product Management Framework combines the best of the best practices, fine tunes them for B2B/B2B2C and makes them simple to understand, adopt and integrate into your daily work streams.
