The goal: Take the fast lane to master the role of strategic product manager

In the PM1 Boot Camp Core for Product Managers, newcomers can take the fast lane to master the role of a strategic product manager. Over just three intensive days on-site, you will learn the essential building blocks of strategic product management and gain the confidence to act as the entrepreneur for your product.

This foundation format is designed to fit into your schedule and budget while delivering maximum impact. You benefit from a highly focused curriculum, hands-on exercises, and direct interaction with trainers and peers.

The Boot Camp Core is particularly effective for teams on a tight budget and limited availability who want to build solid product management capabilities quickly—without compromising on depth or quality.

The target group: For product management newcomers and experienced product managers as a refresher course

Like our 5-day “All-in” boot camp, this training was designed for all newcomers to product management in companies in the industrial and B2B environment. These are often engineers and technicians who were previously in development, sales or service and now want to prepare for their role as a product manager.

The face-to-face training in English is particularly suitable for international PM teams.

At the same time, product managers who have been working in this position for several years and have not yet received systematic training, as well as experienced product managers who want to refresh and deepen their methodological knowledge, will benefit greatly from the training. Even business economists who have already dealt intensively with marketing during their studies regularly confirm the great benefits of the training program tailored to PM.

The systematic approach of the event and the creation of the business plan showed us where we were well positioned and where we still had gaps and how we could close them in order to better meet customer needs – with added value.
