Pragmatic Institute will be in the Chicago area from October 8-10, 2024 to teach Foundations, Focus and Build courses.
Foundations
Learn how to listen to your market and uncover the problems it's facing so you can build better products in our public, in-person Foundations course. Understanding market problems will help you guide decisions, prioritize projects and drive results using a common language. Clarify roles and responsibilities so everyone is on the same page with the same goals and uncover strategic opportunities.
Focus
Use market data to identify and present the right product strategies and pinpoint where your company’s strengths intersect with market values. Build business plans that showcase an urgent, pervasive problem people are willing to pay to solve. Share your product vision and successfully and credibly sell these plans internally.
Build
Provide your teams with a deep understanding of who your users are and what they’re trying to accomplish so they can create truly remarkable products. Improve handoffs between departments and communication with stakeholders while building targeted solutions. Prioritize products and features based on impact and create a universal approach across all your teams.
Hundreds of thousands of product professionals and business leaders have taken Foundations to improve the core of their business. Become certified by the world leaders in product management, product marketing and data science training.
