Product Management Courses | Foundations Course

Understanding the market and the problems it faces is key to creating and marketing products people want to buy. Foundations teaches you how to listen to the market, and then guide decisions, prioritize projects and drive results using the market knowledge you gain. It’s also a prerequisite for every other Pragmatic product course.

Attend Foundations and learn how to:

Get everyone on the same page.

Pragmatic Framework helps teams speak the same language, better understand roles and responsibilities and collaborate more effectively.

As a result of the Pragmatic Institute courses, the alignment of our product and engineering teams have been greatly strengthened. The support that product can provide to client services has also improved quite a bit.

This instructor rocks! His ability to infuse each day with his passion and quick wit made this three-day commitment worthwhile. The information was delivered with clarify and conviction, which has me stoked about returning to the office tomorrow.

Product Management, Exteria Building Products

This was an excellent course for me to take as I move from corporate marketing to product marketing. Now I will be speaking the same language and understand the same concepts as the rest of my team. Concepts were clear, everything ran very smoothly, and I feel ready to put these learnings into action. Thank you!

The Pragmatic Institute Framework has been one of the most powerful tools in uniting us. It helped us move out of featureville and get more problem solving from engineers.

A Practical Approach to Products

People aren’t buying your products. And no matter how much time, effort or money you invest in building and marketing those products, the reason is often the same: You’ve listened to the wrong people. It's time to implement a pragmatic, outside-in approach to building and marketing products that sell.

Pragmatic Institute courses are offered all around the world.
