Session format
The exact format of each session depends on the mentors that are leading it. That said, each session usually includes the following aspects:
Pre-reading in advance
Quick discussion on pre-reads and questions
Exercises and activities
Debrief on exercise
The thesis of the program is that there are many ways to approach key issues in product management and that the best PMs use judgement and creativity to tailor their approach to the needs of the company. The goal for the learning environment is therefore to create a safe space for conversation and inquiry between all members of the community.
