Product Practitioners

Join a cohort of product peers to discuss four core product management topics, share learnings, and be challenged in how you approach product management.

WHY PRODUCT PRACTICIONERS?

Learn from the collective experience of other product people by spending four weeks with eleven other product professionals taking part in facilitated workshops that drive valuable discussions and deep dives on key product challenges.

Engage in product discussions, share your own experiences and build your product network.

Insight from product leaders and instructors who each join one of your challenge sessions to share their insights and experiences with you.

Get the most value through facilitated sessions with Colab facilitators guiding each session. Have the opportunity to meet the group in-person on the final week.

TESTIMONIALS FROM COLAB MEMBERS
I’ve always struggled with imposter syndrome in my product management journey - especially since I have either been a first hire within a startup or a remote PM running around in my own head for too long. My time with COLAB truly helped squash this and validate when I question myself too granularly, it’s these interactions that I’ve missed out on and I can’t say how valuable they are. The community built with COLAB is an inspiring place to be.
Jamie Dawson
Product Manager @ Hyper
As an engineer interested in product, the COLAB Product Management Fundamentals course was the perfect introduction to product concepts. We learned a plethora of practical skills such as identifying a customer problem, finding the target users, creating an MVP, designing prototypes, road mapping, user story writing, and more. After completing the course, I felt like I had a solid grasp of what it takes to be a product manager.
Vincent Wong
Software Engineer @ Xero
I have developed the skills to ask the Whys, and methods to analyse the product being built and process to track the progress collaboratively, along with providing leadership and support to the team via creating my own product concept. This course has provided me the confidence to work as a budding Product Manager along with the useful resources and tools to succeed. Big shoutout to John, Adam, and Toby for all the mentoring.
