Marco has shipped consumer products to twelve million users and killed rather more than he shipped. He teaches product management as a discipline of evidence, not of frameworks, and he is happy to argue with anyone who prefers the frameworks. His discovery module includes real customer interview recordings, with his own mistakes left in.

The instructor is honest about what does not work, which is rarer than it should be. There is a whole lesson on a failed approach and why it failed. I learned more from that than from most successful case studies.

Watched it over three weeks of commutes. The transcripts are accurate enough that I could read on the train and watch the demos later. That is a small thing that made the whole course possible for me.

I have started a lot of courses like this and finished about two. The difference here is that every module ends with something I could take straight into work the next morning. The lab in module three is worth the price on its own.
