Quartz Fundamentals

Provide your team with a solid foundation in critical aspects of product management

Half of my team has never been trained, and the rest trained themselves. We need to align on process, roles, terminology, and playbook.

Chaos in product management is a pervasive issue. Lack of structure and training leads to inconsistent processes, misalignment across teams, and products that fail to meet market demands.

Provide your team with a solid foundation in critical aspects of product management

The Quartz Fundamentals program is designed to bring order to the chaos by providing your product team with a solid foundation in the business and planning aspects of product management. Based on the Quartz Open Framework, this program offers a common language and a ready-to-use, adaptable process and playbook that aligns your entire organization.

Through this training, your team will develop new capabilities and learn new methods that can be immediately applied to your products, ensuring consistent and effective product management from idea to market.

This is more than a certification class where you take a short exam and get a certificate. Instead, it was designed to apply your new skills to your company, markets, and products.

For product teams, including product managers, product owners, and product marketing managers. Also great for product ops teams.

What our clients are saying

Based on the recommendation of a seasoned product leader, we engaged with Product Growth Leaders for their Fundamentals of Managing Products program. The combination of their expertise in product management and their application-focused and coaching-led approach had a significant impact, not only improving the confidence and capabilities of our team, but helping us create a product management playbook that has improved our work product and increased the value our products are delivering.
