Description

Why enrol in this course?


Are you tired of seeing your hard work and investment go down the drain with a failed product launch? Did you know that up to 90% of digital products fail to meet their target market's needs? Don't let that happen to you!

You don't build a winning product and achieve product-market fit in one day. Building a great product requires mindset, strategy, process and tools and techniques. But all this can be learned. And this is what we promise in this course.

In this course you are going to 

  • Develop a strategic and lean mindset

  • Learn a proven step by step lean approach to build a successful product

  • Get tools and techniques you can apply along this process

  • Increase confidence and significantly increase the chances of success


As a special bonus, you'll have the chance to book a 15-minute one-on-one chat with the instructor. This is your opportunity to ask any burning questions you have and get personalized feedback to help you succeed.


This course does not promise overnight success or quick fixes. Instead, what it offers is a proven formula that provides structure and focus to help you prioritise the right activities that will generate continuous and long-term value for your business.


The content of this course

In this course we are going to cover the whole process to build a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) following the Lean Startup methodology as a foundation.

We’ll cover the different phases of the product development process

1) Discovery, which covers the Why - "why are you building the product";

2) Design, which covers the What - "what are you going to build” and

3) Delivery – which is all about the How - “how do you build the product”.

You’ll learn what are the steps in this process, you’ll learn what are the critical points in this journey that you need to pay special attention to, and you’ll learn how to make the right decisions during this process.

Examples of questions we'll cover in the course are:

  • How to identify your market niche and their needs? Which techniques to apply to get valuable insights from users?

  • How to develop a competitive product strategy? How to make your product stand out from the rest?

  • How to make key product decisions? Whether to build or buy a platform? Should you use low-code to accelerate?

  • How to develop a product roadmap? How to define features in scope of your first MVP version?

  • What are the best practices to design the MVP? Do you need a UX designer?

  • What are the best practices to develop the MVP? Which skills do you need in the team? How can you make the software development more efficient? How to make sure your product has sufficient quality?

  • How to measure and improve the product? Which metrics to focus on at the stage you are in?


Your instructor

Who this course is for

The course is designed with an entrepreneur in mind, particularly technology startups.

The course, however, is beneficial for anyone who is involved in the product development process in any way, for example product managers who want to build better products or software engineers who want to understand how the most successful product companies build products that customers love, or project managers

No specific technology background is required to follow this course. It is however preferred to have some basic understanding of business and technology.

It is quite a comprehensive course, exactly matching what it promises. I like the examples enriching the main topics. General feedback: It will be nice to state somewhere some difference in what applies to a SW MVP and a general MVP.

This is a great course for anyone that wants to develop a product - digital or not. What hooked me was that it takes you through the whole process, from the stage of ideation of the product to its market placement. The guides and principles are clear and beautifully laid out, that they are easy to follow and can be applied in various fields and industries. I would recommend this course anytime!

Great course! It is well-structured and covers all the crucial aspects of building a product. It has a good balance of theory and practical examples, which makes it easy to follow. I wish I had watched this course before I was building my first product, so I would recommend it to anyone building a product.

This is very clearly laid out, so someone with next-to-no knowledge can understand. I feel much more confident in building an MVP now, and less like I am chasing my tail trying to understand the industry jargon. I'd definitely recommend it, and I'll be buying more courses from Enlighten for sure.
