Changes are possible. The course content is updated regularly.
This course offers a sound introduction to product management and takes you through the key phases of product development - from the idea to the market launch. You will accompany innovative products, learn techniques for requirements documentation and carry out product and market tests. You will also learn how product strategies are developed and gain insights into consumer behavior.
You are also proficient in dealing with the requirements placed on a product, from determination, documentation and testing to administration. You know the most important terms as well as interfaces and key people.
The course is aimed at software and system developers, employees from the areas of testing and business analysis. The course is also suitable for specialists from technical professions.
Numerous industries and professional groups have requirements for complex products such as IT systems - if these are not recognized and recorded correctly, this can lead to delays and costly errors during the process. The task of requirements management is therefore becoming increasingly important in numerous industries.
Didactic concept
Your lecturers are highly qualified both professionally and didactically and will teach you from the first to the last day (no self-study system).
You will learn in effective small groups. The courses usually consist of 6 to 25 participants. The general lessons are supplemented by numerous practical exercises in all course modules. The practice phase is an important part of the course, as it is during this time that you process what you have just learned and gain confidence and routine in its application. The final section of the course involves a project, a case study or a final exam.
