Special Workshops
Our workshops are all currently designed to be virtual and accommodate 5-50 participants. We use a combination of zoom, breakout rooms, and mural to optimize virtual interaction. Email Us and we’ll work with you to craft the workshop to meet your company/product/team needs.
WORKSHOP: CUSTOMER OBSESSED PRODUCT MANAGERS

WORKSHOP: 10 DESIGN THINKING TECHNIQUES EVERY PM NEEDS
This full-day workshop (can be spread over two half-days) provides the ten design thinking techniques that should be in every Product Manager’s toolbox. We teach these techniques through practical, and fun interactive exercises. The 10 techniques range can be used from new product ideation, to prioritizing backlogs, to interacting/learning from customers.
WORKSHOP: MAKING SURE AGILE IS DELIVERING FOR CUSTOMERS
This half-day workshop shares the roles and responsibilities of an agile team, when putting the customer first. We introduce a new structure that starts before Sprint 0, and defines the work needed to ensure effective planning and execution using the agile or lean methodology.
Custom Training Programs
We know that every organization has some unique challenges and needs. So we can tailor a blended program to meet your needs. We will talk to you about the skill level and experience of your product managers, and understand your product and business needs. We can offer a blending of the following:
- Focus on different aspects of the product training that meets the skill level of your team, whether it’s beginner for new recruits, to more advanced focus areas designed specially to accelerate the effectiveness of your senior PM’s.
- Together we pick areas where your team needs the most help, whether that’s working more effectively with developers, partnering with marketing, launching a new product, understanding existing customer issues, etc.
- We can focus on a single product offering, or multiple, or brand new product ideas – and kickstart your team into action.
- We will blend online training, live workshops, and live coaching sessions in a way that supports the needs of your team.
- We also offer facilitator training (train-the-trainer) where we work closely with a couple of your senior people to develop them as product leaders. We then give them a step-by-step guide to take the rest of your team through the training week by week. This is a popular choice, since it enables the team to learn together and allows us to train your strongest and most experienced people directly (great development opportunity for your lead performers!).
The best way is to contact us to discuss your needs. Give us a little information, and we’ll setup a 30 minute call with you. We’ll then come back with a detailed proposal based on your team, your desired outcomes and your budget.
