Product Management Lifecycle
You and your product management team will experience the full Product Management Lifecycle, its various phases and the milestones, which are applicable to your product and industry. We will work closely with you to understand your product, your processes, team challenges and team strengths before delivering a tailored training programme for you. You will be introduced to the four phases – Discover, Design, Define and Deliver.
The stage at which your product is at in the lifecycle will determine where you will start your work. This will affect your product work and how deeply you need to develop each phase. You will then be able to define a structured Product Management Framework for your product. Throughout the training programme, the trainer will provide relevant insights, suggestions and solutions pertaining to your product.
Value of A-T-A-R process in training programme
I truly believe a piano cannot be tuned in a day. Indeed, any new skill needs practice and a concerted effort in order to truly master it.
The digital skills applied in product management are no different. That’s why we have created a unique training programme to give you an opportunity to pick the skill sets you want to know, learn and master as a well-knit Product Management Team.

ASSESS: An online assessment of your current skills using our trademark tool Wheel of Product(™). We will hold discovery workshops to help understand your product, process, challenges and goals.
TRAIN: Two-day hands-on face-to-face training covering all the practical aspects of your industry and product. We will use relevant examples of your product and industry to create deliverables for your team.

Testimonials
“Highly recommended. I attended Product Management training conducted by Onkar at Said Business School while doing my MBA. As someone who was looking to transition into a career in product management post MBA, this training was extremely helpful. Onkar provided great hands-on training on key principles of Product Management and Agile practices with real-life product examples. His training is relevant and useful for companies of any sizes, from startups to big organizations.”
“The session helped me get an overview of the activities involved in the product lifecycle. The learnings from the session are still afresh in my mind. I have been able to perform some quality work from the takeaways.”
“It was a great hands-on learning experience using examples of real-life digital products. I particularly enjoyed the session about cultivating an Agile mindset and the role teams must play in fostering this mindset in an organisation. Until recently, these were just buzzwords to me, but now I understand how to apply these Agile principles in product management.”
