Get a user-centered approach to measurement
Workshop overview
As Marty Cagan, the author of Inspired, and the godfather of modern product management has said – “as product managers, it is our job to discover that which is valuable, feasible, viable, and usable”. We can only know if we’ve achieved those aims by measuring our progress in some way – so metrics and product analytics are critical to building successful products.
In Metrics for Product Managers we will cover all the fundamentals that a product manager needs to know about metrics. We focus on the role that you as the product manager should play in the metrics process, how to manage teams so that you can collaboratively track towards success, and how you can drive better data-driven decisions and insights.
During the course, you’ll take the theory you learn and craft your own metrics plan based on your product and work – collaborating with your peers & trainer as you build. You’ll go back to work empowered to apply your plan, and ready to drive towards even greater products!

You’ll also have a good understanding of the “One Metric that Matters” concept for various types of business models and stages.
Use maps to understand complexity and spot opportunities
Workshop overview
Product managers work within a complex landscape of organisational systems and processes, all intertwined and dependent on one another. As the product manager, your job is to help your team navigate these systems to uncover friction and opportunities, and drive action.
Mapping is an invaluable learning and communication tool you can use to break down any system, flow or process into digestible elements. This process will empower you to work through problems visually with your team, pulling apart complexity to uncover the next most valuable action.
What we’ll cover on the day
During the course of this workshop, you will build your own map using a product problem or challenge from your own career. We have designed this workshop so that you take the learnings from each of the below modules and apply it right away using your own map, enabling you to fully grasp the concept of mapping. The opportunity to collaborate with your trainer and peers as you build your map is an invaluable way to get feedback and learn from your classmates.
Key takeaways
Using the Decision Stack as a mental model to drive efficient and aligned decisions within your role, team, and organisation.
Workshop overview
The Decision Stack is a mental model which helps align organisations from top to bottom, and bottom to top – increasing decision-making velocity and quality throughout! Currently being used around the world in large complex organisations as well as fast-paced start-ups, this Decision Stack Workshop will help you connect the dots all the way from vision/mission through to every daily decision made in our companies. Leaders can make the necessary connections between existing theories around vision, strategy, and execution layers and understand how important they are to a cohesive approach. Individual team members can truly understand how their work connects to the bigger picture – and how to challenge their leadership where that clarity is lacking.
Using a mix of short lectures, hands-on activities, and group discussions, Martin Eriksson will teach you how to consider your full Decision Stack and deep dive into the two most challenging aspects: defining your strategy and defining your principles. Most importantly this workshop will help you understand your role in bringing these concepts back to your team in order to drive alignment and make better decisions.

Things to note
How to use Adaptable Discovery practices to solve user problems that drive business results
Workshop overview
This training allows teams and individuals to learn the critical skills needed to adopt, professionalize, and scale Product Discovery independent of their industry or company size.
Product Discovery is more than talking to users. But it’s easy for teams to be held back by an overwhelm of frameworks and “do it right.” When the thing matters are their iteration toward reducing uncertainty.
If you strip away all the frameworks, buzzwords, and “best practices,” the core intention of Product Discovery is about the data-informed reduction of uncertainty regarding problems worth solving and solutions worth building through a series of nonlinear activities conducted as a cross-functional team.
That’s why this workshop focuses on helping you understand individual Discovery context and when to apply what technique to make progress, over just introducing new canvases or frameworks.
