    What Our Students Say

    4.8 337 Reviews
    • “Fantastic course, and fantastic instructors @ 280 Group. If you work in PM or PMM and often get lost in agile/scrum or waterfall discussion with development, loosing focus on the customers and the market need – this is the course for you. Get a holistic understanding of the whole product lifecycle, and how to be successful in each phase!”
      Frank Tommy Brotke
      Product Marketing Manager, LINK Mobility Group
    • “The syllabus is extremely well designed. It helps keep track of what you’ll learn but also what you’ve learned so far. All exercises were relevant to the course. Tom and Ken are FANTASTIC, massive congratulations to both. You can tell how much experience they have and how passionate they are about the PM role and teaching about it.”
      Juan Nader
      Senior VFX Applications Engineer, Vicon Motion Systems
    • “The collaboration efforts with other students and especially the instructors created a great foundation for the learnings. I work a lot with scrum teams and the roles between a PM and Project Manager tend to get very muddled. It was good to see where the lines are and how they are different roles that should have different approaches.”
