Based on the best-selling book, The Lean Product Playbook, by Dan Olsen. This course introduces Lean principles to help you achieve product-market fit. It guides you in identifying customer needs, building effective Minimum Viable Products (MVPs), and making data-driven decisions through customer feedback. Lean principles enable faster iteration and more informed decisions, leading to products that better meet market demands.
By completing this course, you will develop essential skills to optimize your product development process. You will learn how to identify target customer segments, validate unmet needs, and prioritize MVP features effectively. These skills are crucial for anyone looking to drive successful product development in a fast-paced business environment.
What sets this course apart is its practical, hands-on approach. The combination of theory and real-world applications empowers you to apply Lean principles in your own work. You will also receive actionable steps for building products, validating assumptions, and iterating based on feedback.
This course benefits entrepreneurs, product managers, and development teams who want to streamline their product development processes. While no prior experience with Lean methodologies is required, a basic understanding of product concepts will help you get the most out of the course.

When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?
To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
What will I get if I purchase the Certificate?
When you purchase a Certificate you get access to all course materials, including graded assignments. Upon completing the course, your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.
Is financial aid available?
Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.
