Product Analytics Master Class

This was a great course to learn about so many different types of metrics that can help you grow in your product management practice. The examples were immediately applicable to my work situation.
— Vickie C, Product Manager

A Cohort-Based, Hands-On Approach to Learning

This is a live, online class taught personally by Jim Morris.

It is a public version of what he teaches to companies in private workshops.

Companies set goals, and product teams deliver features, but often, these efforts aren’t aligned.

Meeting deadlines alone doesn’t ensure company success. It’s crucial to connect a company’s overarching goals with the daily tasks of individual teams.

Learn how to bridge this gap, manage technology development effectively, and make informed decisions using quantitative data..

Who is this for?

The master class is ideal for Product Leaders, Product Managers and Product/Data Analysts.
