GETTING BUY-IN - Mission 1: Building your case and keeping decisions data-based vs. opinion-based (Part 2 Only)
A product manager's job is tough. You have to get decisions made across multiple functions and much of what you do impacts everyone in the company. How do you do this when you don't have formal authority? Well, we have tools to make it significantly easier and faster for you. We cover different aspects of cross-functional influencing and partnership; from how to build your case for change to ways to get decisions made quickly.
Mission 1: Building your case and keeping decisions data-based vs. opinion-based (Part 2 Only)
This is part 2 only of this mission for those that have already taken our foundations course! We recommend taking both, Parts 1 & 2 together, if you haven't taken the foundations course yet. Find it on our offering page.
This mission includes 4 out of 5 sets of videos from our training inventory that take you through validating any hypotheses you're making in your decision making, practicing and communicating clear logic in your decision proposals, and working cross-functionally to get decisions made that stick.
