Transitioning from Project to Product eLearning

Transition from project to product management with eLearning, focusing on developing a product-centric approach for driving superior results.

Overview

In the journey towards digital transformation and agility, organizations often encounter recurring obstacles rooted in the legacy and structure of traditional project management. This eLearning aims to help learners identify and overcome these hurdles by guiding organizations to shift their mindset from "project thinking" to "product thinking". Participants will explore how to redefine, prioritize, and fund initiatives in this new paradigm. The focus will move away from merely completing tasks and instead center on delivering meaningful outcomes and impacts for customers, markets, and the business as a whole. By rearchitecting their ways of working, organizations can break free from the limitations of legacy project models and embrace a more customer-centric, outcome-driven approach.
