The goal: Maximise the success of your products with customer-centric strategies and agile methods
Agile methods and tools are revolutionising the way companies plan, develop and implement projects. In a fast-paced world where requirements are constantly changing and flexibility is key, agile approaches provide a framework that allows organisations to adapt to changing conditions while maintaining an efficient and focused way of working.
In our Deep Dive training, you will be introduced to the world of customer-centric methods and learn how to implement these principles effectively in product management. You will understand how to change product development towards agile thinking and acting and how to systematically capture customer requirements and translate them into product requirements. In addition, we will explore different agile frameworks and tools so that you gain a deep understanding of how to develop customer-centric products with agile efficiency. Through hands-on exercises and case studies, you will gain the skills to manage the entire product lifecycle in an agile way, from ideation to launch and beyond. As an online live version, this training offers geographical flexibility and can be easily integrated into your daily work routine.
The target group: For product managers, heads of product management, business development and development managers
This training is aimed at product managers and heads of product management who want to deepen their skills in agile product management. In addition, this training is recommended for business development managers and development managers who want to transform their organisation towards agile, customer-centric product development.

PM1 EXPERTISE | CONDUCTING CUSTOMER INTERVIEWS
Go out to the customer!
A practical report by Shilu Mistry, Design Thinking expert
80% of products that come onto the market fail because they do not fulfil customer needs. That’s millions in lost revenue and ‘sunk’ R&D costs for a company. And perhaps a career killer for product managers. On the other hand, companies and product managers that have invested in customer-centric methods and truly understand customer needs outperform other companies in their industry by over 200%.
