    Product School

    Background

    After over 15 years in the technology industry as a front end developer / web application engineer, I wanted to make a change — to tack to starboard and sail on a different course. I wanted to have a much more significant impact on the things I work on. I love building things on the web for a wide variety of customers, in a huge spectrum of languages. After some investigation, I decided that product management was a good direction to explore. As a product ...

    Needs Improvement

    Product School is a great concept but badly implemented. While the overall curriculum was quite easy to grasp, technical aspects were very poor. My cohort in Santa Clara was not given any opportunity to attend Wednesday meetup sessions since our classes were changed last minute from Tues - Thurs to Mon - Wed, nor were we told about Balsamiq login options in class. The instructor Greg was very wordy and had poor technical experience since he comes from filmmaking background and gave very po...

    Software product management boot camp

    I'd recommend Product School to people who want to transition into software product management. The program provides industry knowledge, hands-on project experience and a product manager network.

    Great course

    The Product Management course was a good experience especially, learning from an instructor with real life examples. Working with other people and going through the process together was very encouraging. The course was so informative that I wish it lasted longer.

    If you want to understand product management, this is your course

    Product School is an excellent introduction to product management for those wanting to break into the field.  

      The course encompasses the core functionalities of a successful PM - understanding design, marketing, A/B testing, metrics, and the product development cycle.  You'll be exposed to both the higher level theory as well as practical, hands-on examples.  Outside of class, you can sharpen the skills you've learn...

    Crash-course in Product Development

    I enrolled in The Product School in July 2016 for an 8-week course on Product Development. I started the course with some apprehension because of my lack of software skills. It was relatively a small class size of 12-14 very diverse students from all walks of life. As the classes progressed, I was overwhelmed by new concepts and terminology- MVP, UX, frameworks, personas. I decided to speak to my instructor, Adam S about my difficulties/limitations.  Adam was very helpful and encouraged me...

    Product School with Shendi Wang

    Looking to hone my unofficial product management skills, I enrolled in the Product Manager course at Product School. The course was well structured and delivered a concise plan to get students to the next step in becoming a PM. Through a combination of lectures and class exercises we learned and actually used techniques applicable to a job in product.

    Shendi Wang was a great instructor. She was knowledgeable and passionate about product management and delivere...

    SF - Product School Review

    I'm reviewing for the SF Jan 2016 course. 

    Pros:

    Product School has only one training course, which is Product Manager training, so they have to get it right, otherwise they fail. And I think they got it right. I come from a background of 9 years in IT Consulting, of which software development is a huge part and I believe that this course does a good job of breaking down that process into logical parts that someone without the backgroun...

    Great course for Engineers looking to get into Product Management roles

    I took the 8-week Product Management course at Product School and have very positive feedback for anyone looking to take the course.  When I took the course I was Technical Director at Realsec, Inc and wasn’t really looking for a new job but I wanted to improve my Product Management skills. I was doing my job but I couldn’t help to feel that I wasn’t performing at 100%. The course greatly exceeded my expectations mostly because I wasn’t looking for a techn...

    Great starting point to your product management journey

    This review is based on my experience going through this program early last year. I was in the 2nd "cohort" or the 2nd session Product School had. Since the program was fairly new at the time, I was a bit wary going into it, but it turned out great!

    These were my observations (in no particular order), but do keep in mind that they were from an earlier "iteration" of this program, so things may be different by now:

    • The first 1-2 classes were pretty fast paced. The reas...

Schools and universities may be scrambling to figure out remote learning, but coding bootcamps have essentially been preparing for this since 2013. Online coding bootcamps already use Zoom video, Slack, GitHub, and VS Code Live Share for pair programming, online lectures, and to connect mentors and instructors with students.

It s an organizational function that entails a combination of marketing, development, and analysis.
