What You Will Learn & Achieve with the New AI Part

This course has consistently delivered solid foundations in product management and Scrum-based delivery. However, the game-changer is the generative AI integration—not as buzzword compliance, but as a practical capability that separates adaptive practitioners from those stuck in 2019 thinking. You will:

• Master the basics of Generative AI and Large Language Models (LLMs) to effectively use them in your professional and private environments.
• Dive deep into Prompt Engineering to understand how to talk to models and get "good stuff" back, going beyond;garbage in garbage out" maxim.
• Discover how to customize AI models by tweaking their tone, instructing them on what not to do, and even setting up custom behaviors, like delivering three thought-provoking questions at the end of a response.
• Understand the power of GPTs (custom personalized chatbots), also known as “Gems” in Gemini or “Projects” in Claude, and learn to configure and build your own with tailored instructions, behaviors, and optional tools or APIs.
• Leverage Deep Research Reports from tools like ChatGPT and Gemini for profound market insights, as demonstrated through the restructuring and pivot of the startup Health XYZ from a B2C marketplace to a B2B offering.
• Apply AI to analyze patterns in unstructured data from sources like user interviews, support issues, Product Requirement Documents (PRDs), and team artifacts.
• Learn to populate product canvases and frameworks, such as Pavel’s Product Strategy Canvas or User Story Mapping, with AI-based insights, ensuring strategic alignment down to the tactical level.
• Improve Product Backlog management by turning product suggestions into hypotheses for testing, aligning them with existing information, and validating them effectively.
• Explore ethical AI considerations and practical approaches for employing generative AI responsibly in your product work.
• Gain insights into using professional AI accounts, as many disappointments with LLMs stem from using free models without proper prompting knowledge.

This online class is built around the practical use case of a fictitious startup called Health XYZ, showing you an AI application in product management, including how the startup’s narrative, personas, product strategy, and PRDs were significantly boosted by AI.

Our focus is not on outsourcing thinking, but on enhancing your proficiency and enabling AI to act as an “endlessly patient, very knowledgeable” entity that can critique and support your designs and ideas.
