Product Management Accelerator
Product Management training focused on the process behind innovation
Ask a veteran product manager how they got into the field and how they became an expert and they’ll probably tell you it was luck and a lot of trial and error. We’re aiming to fix that.
Product Management is a profession that deals in innovation. While innovation sometimes comes in moments of brilliant inspiration, usually it is the result of painstaking work by cross-functional teams — led by professional product managers.
This program is built for product managers at every level looking to master the science of innovation. Our goal: teach you how to build the right product at the right time at the right price.
Bridge the gap between Agile technical teams and business strategy
Product Owners play a critical role in every Scrum team. But Product Owner training doesn’t fully prepare you for the strategic business demands of Product Management.
This program is designed to bridge that gap, starting from Agile basics like User Stories and progressing all the way to expert-level strategic subject matter such as Product Licensing.
Direct instructor interaction forms the core of our delivery model
Let’s be honest: Far too many online training programs count on you to teach yourself.
While we believe your can learn a lot on your own, the evidence shows that nothing can substitute for real instructor interaction. Whether it’s a live coaching session or detailed feedback on a homework assignment, our experts are there to make sure you are grasping the material and moving toward your goals.

Our hands-on program combines instructor-led workshops with self-guided lessons, project-based assignments, and graded assessments to provide a comprehensive, scalable approach to innovation in the global enterprise.

Adopting Scrum ≠ Product Innovation
Taking a product from ideation to profitability is every product manager’s goal.
But how do you teach it? How do you institutionalize it?
We have created a training program that puts innovation first because Scrum training for Product Owners
does not go far enough for the professional product manager.
PROGRAM OPTIONS
Each program level offers Product Managers practical content, tools and frameworks — for beginners to seasoned veterans.
What You Will Learn
Organizations that are serious about launching new products and services — or unblocking innovation — need expert-level Product Managers.
We put everything we know about product management into a unique curriculum that focuses on innovation, strategy and leadership as well as the essential nuts-and-bolts of product management.
How We Teach
Our certification programs are a challenging educational experience combining online instruction with peer interaction and 1-on-1 time with an expert trainer.
Because we require our learners to take what they have learned online and apply it in the real world, our students gain practical hands-on experience unavailable in traditional training environments.
