The role of a product manager has changed a lot in the past two decades. In today’s Agile environment, product managers need to be leaders in market knowledge, strategy, and organizational support. Being numerically literate is a crucial skill for effective product managers. It’s important to communicate complex ideas using numbers, finances, or statistics, although this skill is often overlooked. Executives, Board Members, and customers understand the world through numbers and visualizations. So, product managers need to be just as skilled in these areas as they are at understanding customer issues.
In this webinar, you will learn:
– How to extract and present market facts using relevant numerical and visual tools.
– Specific techniques for analyzing SaaS products.
– How to use these techniques to manage your product business in a market-focused way.
Date and Time: Wednesday, February 10th, 2021 at 11AM PST, 2PM EST, 7PM GMT.
