Why Study Product Management?

The field of project management concerns everything involved in the conceptualisation, development, introduction and optimisation of new products. Throughout each stage of the product life cycle, even the smallest decision can make the difference between success and failure. This is where the skills, knowledge and confidence of experienced product management personnel are worth their weight in gold. A business will always be judged by the quality of its products. For the product manager, the challenge lies in ensuring each and every product is a flawless success. In return, experienced product managers can expect competitive salaries and a fascinating job market to explore worldwide.

This is an introductory product management course for beginners, which examines the functions and objectives of product management at ground level. Our Level 1 Product Management Certificate is an endorsed online study program of the highest quality, comprising the following three modules:

Module 1 - Product Development and Product Life Cycle

Module one considers product development as both a profession and a wider business concept, outlining its functions and primary objectives. A detailed breakdown of the product life cycle is also presented, along with common reasons for failed products and how to avoid them, the value of robust product testing and the role of innovation in product development.

Module 2 - Product Pricing Strategies

Module two guides candidates through the process of establishing a viable pricing framework for a product, while examining some of the more typical pricing strategies. Factors that can affect the viability of a product’s price are also discussed, which include competition, perceived value to the customer, marketing, production costs and distribution.

Module 3 - Marketing your product

Module three provides a crash-course introduction to the art of effective marketing, guiding candidates through the process of creating and implementing a marketing strategy. The cornerstones of effective market research are also discussed, along with how to conduct competitor analysis and an overview of the SWOT matrix and its applications.
