What do our customers have to say about our training?

Thank you for bringing perspective and a framework to product management. I finally have some organized expectations that I can define and use to organize my day.

Leslie Vaillancourt

Program Manager, BlueTie

The new series of seminars is highly effective. I've taken the predecessor seminars and have to say the flow, content and value is much more. If you're a product team professional a haven't taken Pragmatic's courses in a few years, you have to. It's now a must.

Jim Holland

Product Management, PROS

Timely, succinct, practical, applicable and entertaining, truly inspirational. I caught a vision of a position that I can truly enjoy and it is much broader than I expected.

Rusty Lindquist

Product Manager, a la mode

I've been a product management professional in software for over 15 years. Since taking the Pragmatic Marketing training, I've refined my understanding of my craft and have been promoted to SVP of Product/Technology with a focus on rolling out Pragmatic Marketing learnings across the company.

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 Marketing courses are offered all around the world.
