2025 Stanford University Product Management Class

Recently, I helped teach a Product Management course for Christina Wodtke at Stanford University.

Christina has created a fast-paced hands-on course focused on giving Stanford students a real feel for how to be an industry Product Manager.

The class is CS 177: Human-Centered Product Management and I was fortunate to teach 6 of the 20 sessions. Albert Collell is another co-teacher in the class.

I covered a broad array of topics (including an AI hackathon) and since it was in person I brought paper workbooks for students to do pen and paper exercises. The students hand wrote success metrics for their team-assigned products, brainstormed negative and positive moments using the Airbnb11-star framework and created opportunity assessments.

Thanks to Albert for his awesome photos!
