Course overview

Virginia examines product management through focus, methods and two contrasting situations: exploring a new idea and improving an existing product. The sequence helps learners compare discovery work with decisions about an established offering. It is a foundation for understanding the product manager’s choices rather than a walkthrough of one project-management application.

What you will learn

  • Define a useful focus for a digital product.
  • Compare methods for exploring a new product idea.
  • Identify approaches to improving an existing product.

Who this suits

Beginners; software-development and product-management familiarity are helpful but not required.

Before you enroll

Treat product frameworks as tools for making decisions, not evidence that a proposal will succeed. Check the customer evidence, constraints and measures behind a roadmap or launch plan.

Coursera offers paid enrollment or subscription access. Check the enrollment screen for assessment and certificate terms, trials and any financial-aid options. Provider access terms can change; review them before paying.

Put it into practice

Choose a fictional product idea and an existing product problem. Explain why you would collect different evidence before prioritizing work on each.
