| columbia product management bootcamp cost: Product Sense Peter Knudson, Braxton Bragg, 2021-07-12 Attempting to land a new job in product management is daunting. For starters, there have been no comprehensive blueprints for success. The interview process is grueling. Few candidates receive offers. Product Sense is the only comprehensive, yet accessible, resource available to help navigate a complex process and succeed an a hyper-competitive market. What will you learn from this book? The required PM common traits - ones that all PMs need to embody to get a job (regardless of industry, company, or product). The single, most crucial PM problem -What it is, why it is key to the role, and how to tackle it in four steps. Master our brand new Compass Framework - We designed our own proprietary interview framework from the ground up, which you can use to navigate product sense, execution, and leadership PM interview questions. How to get a job - A step-by-step hand-holding on what to do to land the most desired roles. Including take-home assignments, recruiter & hiring manager screens, and crafting your unique narrative - your PM Superpower. What's also inside? A detailed breakdown of the hiring criteria for PMs at FAANG and other tech companies Super-detailed example answers to tough PM interview case questions. An inside look at PM. Dozens of first-hand stories, interviews, real life examples, and no-fluff advice A robust glossary of PM terms used throughout the industry for easy reference This book will benefit those who are considering becoming PMs, those who are attempting to switch into product management from another role, or folks who are already PMs but want to be most prepared when applying for a new job. Here's what readers say about Product Sense: Product Sense helped me understand if PM is the right career path for me. Easy to read, clear, concise, and jam-packed full of insight and examples that illustrate all the concepts, this is the perfect starting point for anyone new to the field, and goes well beyond that for those looking to advance their career. Peter is one of the best strategic and tactical product minds I've ever worked with. For that reason, I'm not at all surprised that what he and Braxton have written here is a definitive guide to Product Management in today's ultra-competitive market. After reading Cracking the PM Interview, I was still lost as to how to structure my answers to case questions. While I understand that there is no right way to answer these interview questions, I appreciated that Product Sense gave me firm and clear guidance, walking me through the basics of PM thinking and how to adopt it in my interview answers. It was reassuring to see that the best mock interviews have all of the elements of Product Sense's Compass Framework. If CTPMI is the first step to prepare for landing a PM Role, then Product Sense is definitely the second step. |

| columbia product management bootcamp cost: Culture Clash 2 Thomas D. Zweifel, 2013-07 Few are prepared for managing across cultures, and the costs of cultural blind spots can spin out of control—from lawsuits to lost opportunities. Forged in the fire of clashing cultures and living on four continents, Dr. Zweifel developed a fool-proof methodology for managing successfully across borders. And post-9/11, the Arab Spring and the BRICS emerging markets, e-commerce and social networks have made this updated and expanded edition of Culture Clash indispensible. Culture Clash 2 is not another Kiss, Bow or Shake Hands. Such protocol-laden works on whether to bring wine to a dinner in Singapore or how many times to kiss in France might have their uses, but non-compliance with local etiquette has rarely been a deal-breaker. What has derailed international business is the inability of managers to see the world from their counterpart's point of view, read between the lines, and decode the mind-set of the other side. |

For seventeen-year-old Opal Hopper, code is magic. She builds entire worlds from scratch: Mars craters, shimmering lakes, any virtual experience her heart desires. But she can't code her dad back into her life. When he disappeared after her tenth birthday, leaving only a cryptic note, Opal tried desperately to find him. And when he never turned up, she enrolled at a boarding school for technical prodigies and tried to forget. Until now. Because WAVE, the world's biggest virtual reality platform, has announced a contest where the winner gets to meet its billionaire founder. The same billionaire who worked closely with Opal's dad. The one she always believed might know where he went. The one who maybe even murdered him. What begins as a small data hack to win the contest spirals out of control when Opal goes viral, digging her deeper into a hole of lies, hacks, and manipulation. How far will Opal go for the answers--or is it the attention--she's wanted for years? |

| columbia product management bootcamp cost: Numbersense: How to Use Big Data to Your Advantage Kaiser Fung, 2013-07-12 How to make simple sense of complex statistics--from the author of Numbers Rule Your World We live in a world of Big Data--and it's getting bigger every day. Virtually every choice we make hinges on how someone generates data . . . and how someone else interprets it--whether we realize it or not. Where do you send your child for the best education? Big Data. Which airline should you choose to ensure a timely arrival? Big Data. Who will you vote for in the next election? Big Data. The problem is, the more data we have, the more difficult it is to interpret it. From world leaders to average citizens, everyone is prone to making critical decisions based on poor data interpretations. In Numbersense, expert statistician Kaiser Fung explains when you should accept the conclusions of the Big Data experts--and when you should say, Wait . . . what? He delves deeply into a wide range of topics, offering the answers to important questions, such as: How does the college ranking system really work? Can an obesity measure solve America's biggest healthcare crisis? Should you trust current unemployment data issued by the government? How do you improve your fantasy sports team? Should you worry about businesses that track your data? Don't take for granted statements made in the media, by our leaders, or even by your best friend. We're on information overload today, and there's a lot of bad information out there. Numbersense gives you the insight into how Big Data interpretation works--and how it too often doesn't work. You won't come away with the skills of a professional statistician. But you will have a keen understanding of the data traps even the best statisticians can fall into, and you'll trust the mental alarm that goes off in your head when something just doesn't seem to add up. Praise for Numbersense Numbersense correctly puts the emphasis not on the size of big data, but on the analysis of it. Lots of fun stories, plenty of lessons learned—in short, a great way to acquire your own sense of numbers! Thomas H. Davenport, coauthor of Competing on Analytics and President’s Distinguished Professor of IT and Management, Babson College Kaiser’s accessible business book will blow your mind like no other. You’ll be smarter, and you won’t even realize it. Buy. It. Now. Avinash Kaushik, Digital Marketing Evangelist, Google, and author, Web Analytics 2.0 Each story in Numbersense goes deep into what you have to think about before you trust the numbers. Kaiser Fung ably demonstrates that it takes skill and resourcefulness to make the numbers confess their meaning. John Sall, Executive Vice President, SAS Institute Kaiser Fung breaks the bad news—a ton more data is no panacea—but then has got your back, revealing the pitfalls of analysis with stimulating stories from the front lines of business, politics, health care, government, and education. The remedy isn’t an advanced degree, nor is it common sense. You need Numbersense. Eric Siegel, founder, Predictive Analytics World, and author, Predictive Analytics I laughed my way through this superb-useful-fun book and learned and relearned a lot. Highly recommended!

| columbia product management bootcamp cost: Applied Conjoint Analysis Vithala R. Rao, 2014-02-20 Conjoint analysis is probably the most significant development in marketing research in the past few decades. It can be described as a set of techniques ideally suited to studying customers’ decision-making processes and determining tradeoffs.

Chapters 6 through 8 discuss the use of conjoint analysis for specific applications like product and service design or product line decisions, product positioning and market segmentation decisions, and pricing decisions. Chapter 9 collates miscellaneous applications of marketing mix including marketing resource allocation or store location decisions. Finally, Chapter 10 reviews more recent developments in experimental design and data analysis and presents an assessment of future developments. |
| columbia product management bootcamp cost: The Lean Startup Eric Ries, 2011-09-13 Most startups fail. But many of those failures are preventable. The Lean Startup is a new approach being adopted across the globe, changing the way companies are built and new products are launched. Eric Ries defines a startup as an organization dedicated to creating something new under conditions of extreme uncertainty. This is just as true for one person in a garage or a group of seasoned professionals in a Fortune 500 boardroom. What they have in common is a mission to penetrate that fog of uncertainty to discover a successful path to a sustainable business. The Lean Startup approach fosters companies that are both more capital efficient and that leverage human creativity more effectively. Inspired by lessons from lean manufacturing, it relies on “validated learning,” rapid scientific experimentation, as well as a number of counter-intuitive practices that shorten product development cycles, measure actual progress without resorting to vanity metrics, and learn what customers really want. It enables a company to shift directions with agility, altering plans inch by inch, minute by minute. Rather than wasting time creating elaborate business plans, The Lean Startup offers entrepreneurs—in companies of all sizes—a way to test their vision continuously, to adapt and adjust before it’s too late. Ries provides a scientific approach to creating and managing successful startups in a age when companies need to innovate more than ever. |

DISCOVER YOUR PURPOSE WITH ONE SIMPLE QUESTION: WHY? 'One of the most incredible thinkers of our time; someone who has influenced the way I think and act every day' Steven Bartlett, investor, BBC Dragon and host of The Diary of a CEO podcast ***** Why are some people more inventive, pioneering and successful than others?

| columbia product management bootcamp cost: The Secret Product Manager Handbook Nils Davis, 2018-03-05 Product management isn't about you and it isn't about your product. It's about solving problems for your customers, creating a solution, and taking it to market. When I started in product management, I had a lot of questions, like What is product management? It's a common question still, but most people don't have a good answer. After all these years, the same questions keep coming up. I see them on forums, I hear them when I talk to new and experienced product managers, and I still do not see them being answered well or usefully. So I wrote this book, with the answers to the questions I always had. You'll learn: The real reason people choose to buy a product - it's not about how good the product is! How to get the very best from your developers. The 5-word phrase that can accelerate sales and marketing. The best ways to talk to executives and customers about what you're building. Among other critical information, you'll find a powerful framework for thinking about product management - and even for talking to your Mom about what you do. The framework provides an infrastructure for most of The Secret Product Manager Handbook. I provide a concrete and explicit explanation of why product management is so important for businesses, including a calculation of the true business value of product management. And the book is full of specific techniques and practices for transforming your product management career. What People Are Saying Nuggets of product management wisdom and ideas you'll want to hang on your monitor. The book is like having a conversation with a mentor. (Ken Hanson, Growth Product Manager) The summary of product management - identify market problems, guide the creation of solutions, and take the solutions to market - is powerful. As a former engineer, it's especially important to be reminded of the third point (Frank Licea, Product Manager) The intro is one of the clearest and smartest explanations of the value a product manager should bring to the table I've ever read.
