Welcome to Product Management and Design

What you’ll learn

This course will teach you how to build products users want and love. It gives you a
foundation in the tools and practices of modern product management and
interaction design. You will collaborate with peers to apply these product development skills
to real user challenges.

The course begins with a focus on user research. You’ll learn and apply the
design thinking framework to product development. You’ll learn to define user
needs through user interviews and market analysis, to translate those needs into product specifications, and define metrics to test
product success. Next you’ll learn to create and test design prototypes
(wireframes, user journeys). You’ll learn key concepts in UI/UX design including information
hierarchy, and typography and color. You will create high-fidelity UI mockups
using industry-standard tools. You’ll conduct usability tests to gauge the
effectiveness of your designs.

Working with your peers, you will practice the complementary and collaborative
roles of PMs and UX designers in early product development. You’ll also practice
giving design critiques to other teams, and responding to feedback on your
designs. By the end of the courses, your team will have a user-tested, refined,
and development-ready spec for a web or mobile application.

Learning Outcomes

By the end of the course, you will be able to:

• Apply at least one product ideation framework (e.g. design thinking) to identify product opportunities
• Conduct qualitative concept tests, and make product decisions based on user feedback
• Create basic wireframes to describe a user journey
• Write product requirements documentation that describe the purpose, features, and metrics of success for a software product
• Design high-fidelity mockups for an application, and build interactive UI prototypes using industry-standard tools
• Analyze and assess a design, and give actionable feedback for improvement

Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of “de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum” (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, “Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..”, comes from a line in section 1.10.32.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.There are many variations of passages of Lorem Ipsum available, but the majority have suffered alteration in some form, by injected humour, or randomised words which don’t look even slightly believable.

If you are going to use a passage of Lorem Ipsum, you need to be sure there isn’t anything embarrassing hidden in the middle of text. All the Lorem Ipsum generators on the Internet tend to repeat predefined chunks as necessary, making this the first true generator on the Internet. It uses a dictionary of over 200 Latin words, combined with a handful of model sentence structures, to generate Lorem Ipsum which looks reasonable.

Innovation

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like)
