Brand new PM here that made the jump from consulting with a business background. I’m looking to take a PT course that would complement my PM skills. Which course would folks recommend I do and why?

1) web development (mainly focused on front end)
2) data analytics (includes SQL)
3) UI/UX design

From my experience data analytics should be your first priority. Strong skills in analytics are a PM expectation, UX/UI and software engineering are nice to have but what you learn will not be relevant for every product you could work on. Analytics is always useful.

I agree that data analytics should come first. You'll want something that always applies.

I was wondering if the review course “CPE Self Study Course” for the CFF was enough preparation to study and pass the CFF exam. The CFE review course was enough and like if you get a question wrong it explains it well so that when it comes up in a different way in the real exam you can still get it. But when I saw the outline for the CFF material and there seems to be a lot of topics so I was wondering if the review course was sufficient considering this exam is also multiple choice. Thanks!

Thoughts on becoming a "Growth & New Initiatives PM"?

I was a regular PM managing my own vertical and now have the opportunity for a new role in the org. No promo or cash related, just jurisdiction wise.

I'd be focusing on:
For old product-
-Free Trial
-automation
For new product-
-Building out from scratch
-UI/UX related user feedback
-sales and marketing focus
-use cases and features

Is this a good move career wise? Love being a PM and looking to grow.
Prefer new product > old
