Hey Everyone,

I’m a developer with six years of experience and a strong interest in Product Management. I’m looking to transition my career to the product side and would love your recommendations on courses that can help me in this journey.

I have a solid understanding of Scrum and Agile and have also cleared my PSM and SAFe POPM certifications. Any suggestions for structured learning paths, certifications, or practical resources would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

I would start by answering the questions - why product management? Why should a company hire you as a PM?

By answering these questions, honestly, you should be able to understand the role of a PM and also weigh the pros and cons of being one.

Coming to your question about courses, there are a tons of courses on various e-learning platforms. They all pretty much cover the same stuff. Just pick the one that convinces you. To be honest, courses help you land a job to a very small extent. Only experience matters because some of the most important roles of a PM are to build relationships, firefight, prioritise and be the underpaid CEO of the product. Courses cannot teach you these things and this is what companies generally look for.

Having said that, it's great that you're interested in product management. I believe that everyone's a product manager in life, solving some challenge or another. My advice would be to try for an internal switch within your company. That's the easiest and the cheapest way to get into product management.

Note: all of this is based on my personal experience. Every person's situation is very different. Use your judgement and make the best decision.

All the best!
