About this programme

What this course is

Technical PM is a self-paced course that builds technical fluency for product managers — without asking you to write code. Nobody explains systems in a product manager's language; this course does. You learn how engineering teams think and make trade-offs, how to write PRDs and turn business needs into engineering-ready specs, and how to run delivery with Agile, Scrum, OKRs and RAID logs.

How it works

The whole course runs on one real case study — an AI Avatar Assistant — so every module produces a real artefact: a backlog of epics, features and user stories; a simulated sprint from planning to retrospective; OKR and RAID templates; a Kanban board in GitHub Projects; a roadmap in ProductBoard; a written PRD and executive update. A final module introduces AI PM fundamentals, and the capstone is an end-to-end PM simulation with a certificate of completion.

What you walk away with

A tool-tested portfolio: the backlog, OKRs, RAID log, Kanban board, PRD and capstone project — the exact artefacts technical PM interviews ask about.

Who it's for

Product managers who want more technical depth, aspiring PMs preparing for technical PM interviews, business analysts moving into product, and founders building technology products. Recommended order: Strategic PM → Technical PM → Becoming an AI PM.

Student Reviews

"Had the pleasure of reconnecting with Aakanksha Sharma, my mentor during the Microsoft mentorship program. Her guidance—especially on REST APIs—gave me a head start during my undergrad and laid a strong foundation for my corporate journey. Grateful for her lasting impact and the chance to reflect on how far that mentorship has taken me."

"Aakansha held the What a Vibe! Vibe coding challenge, where she helped a bunch of us gain practical skills in building an AI assistant for interview prep. She shared insightful comments and feedback on how to approach the task while making it fun and engaging."
