New course from alfatraining closes skills gap: IT Consultant Product Management

According to the ManpowerGroup study "Skills shortage 2024", 82% of German companies have difficulties filling vacant positions - especially in digital roles. To counter this shortage, alfatraining is now offering the AZAV-certified full-time course IT-Berater Produktmanagement. The 16-week program qualifies specialists for tasks at the interface between product development, IT and the market.

The curriculum combines business fundamentals with modern product management. Participants analyze markets, segment target groups, develop portfolio strategies and accompany digital products from the idea to the roll-out. Agile working forms the methodological core of the course: in the Scrum module, user stories are created, backlogs are prioritized and sprint reviews are moderated. In addition, the AWS Cloud Administrator module teaches concepts relating to infrastructure, security and cost management on Amazon Web Services. Artificial intelligence tools will be introduced in a practical way, for example for market forecasts or prioritization decisions.

Upon successful completion, graduates receive a bundle of recognized certifications:
