Hi Fishes.

My YOE 11+ years. All my career I have worked as Business Analyst/Consultant in IT service companies or consulting firms.

Now I want to level up in my career but do not want to do consulting or BA role.

Hence, I am looking for options to upgrade myself with a course. Options vary from IIM to ISB to upgrad etc.

Can someone please guide me how to build myself as a product manager.. Course would help me put a foot in the door atleast.

You can check out ISB and INSAID Product Manager courses. They help you gain the knowledge and confidence to give interviews and some exposure to tools as well.

Also upskill with Certified Scrum Master/Product Owner, SAFe Agilist certification to get your CV shortlisted for the first round.

However, the best way to get into product is by building a product and growing it to a certain extent. The learning’s from that are far more valuable than a course as you understand real life problems and solutions.

Major companies have transitioned to Agile and do good old Scrum or follow SAFe framework to drive value using things like ART , RTE and PI planning ceremonies.

Having the knowledge and experience of these frameworks drastically shortens a persons learning curve and enables them to drive maximum value and impact as soon as they join.

Also, the application or filters the HR from product companies use to shortlist candidates include these keywords for certifications and experience.
