Learn Product Discovery and Validation Skills
In this hands-on, practical one-day course, we explore a potential product, identify and validate assumptions, and run experiments — increasing our chances of tackling the right problem with a fit-for-purpose solution.
Learning Outcomes
What You'll Be Able to Do
Position your product to better fit the needs of your users by developing real understanding of their problems and goals.
Validate sooner rather than later, maximizing the amount of work NOT done — and reducing the risk of building the wrong thing.
Clarify your assumptions and test them quantitatively — designing experiments that are as low-cost and low-risk as possible.
Apply an iterative, incremental approach to discovering paths to value — guided by evidence, not opinions.
Learning Objectives
Core Skills You'll Develop
Think in problems, not solutions
Learn the advantages of framing work as problems to solve — and how Business Problem Statements can guide the discussion.
Focus on customer-centric outcomes
Shift from delivery outputs to customer-centric outcomes and impacts — the difference between building things right and building the right things.
Ride the Truth Curve
Design experiments to increase investment incrementally as confidence grows — starting low-cost, low-risk and scaling investment as validation confirms direction.
Apply hands-on discovery techniques
Leave with practical discovery tools you can use immediately when exploring value in your work.
Measure and validate outcomes
Embrace the need to release early and use measurements to validate that you're achieving the outcomes you aimed for.
Who Is This For
No Prerequisites Required
The intended audience is anyone interested in the foundational ideas behind discovery and validation. Typical participants: Product Owners, Product/Portfolio Managers, Product Leaders/CPOs, Product Designers/Engineers, and anyone interested in effective, high-impact product development.
