Product Discovery and Validation

Service Description

The one-day course on product discovery and validation is a one-day, hands-on training designed to enhance value creation in product development. Participants will learn essential discovery and validation skills that are crucial for both new products and the enhancement of existing products. Through practical application, attendees will gain the ability to drive targeted learning, delight customers, and optimize ROI by effectively managing risk exposure. Experimentation and evidence collection are increasingly vital in today’s dynamic business landscape. This course emphasizes the importance of learning and equips participants with the skills to foster organizational alignment, reduce waste, and make data-driven decisions. Using an ongoing case study, students will apply the techniques learned in class, preparing them to integrate these practices into their own workplaces. This course is ideal for Product Owners, Product Managers, and product teams seeking to enhance their product development processes through discovery and validation. The course aims to teach participants how to design experiments to validate assumptions about user needs, thereby increasing user value and improving ROI. Attendees will learn to engage stakeholders using data, unlock creativity, and reframe work as problem-solving rather than task execution. Key learning outcomes include identifying and prioritizing assumptions, gathering and analyzing data, and using learnings to inform decision-making. Although there is no certification currently associated with the course, it offers valuable skills for professionals seeking to make better investments and data-informed decisions. Participants will receive one free attempt at the globally recognized PPDV certification from Scrum.org.
