Customer Research & Data-Driven Decision Making, Product Owner Academy II: learning about customers, understanding statistics and applying scientific methods to testing.

In order to survive in the market these days, it is absolutely critical to understand who your customers are, what are their needs, wants, goals and pain points. Missing a step in customer research, interviewing the wrong people or misinterpreting the experiment results can lead to poor sales, bad reviews and even to the product failure. At the same time, a holistic approach based on science and best practices will help you to maximize value delivered to the customers, and as a result bring your business to success.

This is the second course in “Product Owner Academy” series. In this course we are going to take a deep dive into the world of customer research, statistics, user testing and data-driven decision making. You don’t have to have any prior knowledge of the subject, as we will learn all the concepts from the basics.

What will you learn

After completing this course you will be able to confidently plan and execute quantitative and qualitative customer research, build customer personas, design customer journey and product vision. You will also learn how to confidently navigate the world of statistics, estimating means and proportions of the population, setting up confidence intervals and margin of error, defining null hypothesis and alternative hypothesis, calculating the rejection regions and criteria for decision. On top of that you will become familiar with various approaches to usability testing, learn how to set up an A/B test, how to design MVP and what is the difference between MVP and prototype.

The course includes many activities using Miro (a free online whiteboard tool), knowledge tests and a lot of practical examples and pieces of advice on how to apply the new skills and knowledge to practice. There are also downloadable materials and useful links to help you maximize your learning outcomes.

Whom is this course for

While this course is designed with Product Owners in mind, it would definitely be useful for people involved in product or service development – startup and business owners, product team members, product and project managers and anyone else interested in customer research and data-driven decision making.

This is an entry-level course, so we will start from the very basics and gradually build up the knowledge as we dive deeper into the topics.
