In the Lab's program gives you tools to learn and then opportunities to apply the learning. We spend 2 hours each week together going over a core product manager concept, including a collaborative exercise. Outside this synchonous session, you're on your own to do the weekly "homework" and meet with your team on your product build activities.
Total weekly time committment is between 4 and 6 hours for about 13 weeks.
In the Lab runs 3 times per year
At this time, In the Lab costs $0 for cohort participants.
