Has anyone gone to a Product Management boot camp? If so, which one and was it worth it? Looking at transitioning into PM from a background in release management and software configuration.

I have several PM buddies. I don’t think you need to go to bootcamp. Its not really a position you need a particular technical skill for. I’d just work on your interview stories, and try and get a foot in the door at a smaller company and work up from there.

I’ve been at PM for about 4 years and I’ve never met someone who made the transition via a boot camp, so I would be really clear about what you’re looking to get out of it and whether that’s the best value to get that thing. I’m sure you could gain some good knowledge/frameworks, but for that I would start with free/cheap online courses and books. You might get good interview practice, but there are other resources focused on that. The other thing you will need is somebody willing to take a chance on you for your first product job. Usually that comes from somebody you already work with who can hire you for an internal transfer. If that’s not an option, you’re going to need to do a lot of networking and you don’t need a bootcamp for that.
