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, product managers, project managers and employees, quality officers and 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.
Virtual classroom alfaview®
Lessons take place using modern alfaview® video technology - either from the comfort of your own home or at our premises at Bildungszentrum. The entire course can see each other face-to-face via alfaview®, communicate with each other in lip-sync voice quality and work on joint projects. Of course, you can also see and talk to your connected trainers live at any time and you will be taught by your lecturers in real time for the entire duration of the course. The lessons are not e-learning, but real live face-to-face lessons via video technology.
