This course builds an end-to-end understanding of product innovation and development, with a strong focus on customer problems, evidence and practical decision-making. Learners move from identifying customer needs to generating ideas, selecting concepts and designing clearer value propositions. The curriculum then introduces MVP thinking, assumption testing, product roadmapping and market validation so product decisions can be made before full-scale investment. Later modules address feedback, iteration, team leadership and stakeholder alignment, while the final module focuses on presenting product ideas with clarity and credibility. Each module combines a learning path with frameworks, canvases, checklists, worked cases and an application or AI prompt contained in the source curriculum. The course is relevant for professionals who need to contribute to product discovery, development, validation or innovation discussions in a structured, customer-centred way.
