Do the product job before you have the product job.
An 8-week residency where you work in a product squad on a real brief - shipping a specific PM artefact every sprint, presenting your approach to a mentor, learning the ideal workplace approach, and implementing it the next week.
A weekly sprint loop, just like a real product team.
You don’t watch lessons. You run a weekly product sprint: take a brief, deliver an artefact, present it, get workplace-standard feedback, and improve it in the next sprint.
Get the brief
Each sprint starts with a clear brief and the artefact you owe by the end of the week.
Do the work in a squad
You work in a multidisciplinary product squad - as one of several teams - using professional tools.
Present to your mentor
At the end of the week you present your approach and findings to an experienced PM mentor.
Get workplace-standard feedback
Your mentor shows you the ideal approach a real product team would take - and where yours differs.
Implement next sprint
You apply the feedback the following week and present improved, new deliverables. Repeat for 8 weeks.
One brief, a new artefact every week.
Each sprint has a focus and a specific deliverable. You present your approach and findings to your mentor at the end of the week, then implement their feedback in the next sprint.
