Technology Leadership: Agile Product Development
This course is designed to give students the opportunity to experience a full cycle of product development by developing and refining series of prototypes leading to delivering a functioning MVP (Minimally Viable Product). Students form small teams to identify a problem, followed by ideation to come up with a product idea that will help solving a real problem. Students will be introduced to professional product development processes & approaches through series of lectures, case study analysis, simulations, and exercises. Students will then design a product that will solve these real problems and start implementing series of 3 prototypes culminating with a working product MVP.
Topics
- The program will also allow students to develop a number of ‘soft’ skills such as leadership, team development, conflict resolution, stakeholder management, project management in an intensive, experiential learning environment that includes regular pitches and feedback from mentors. Mixed interdisciplinary teams will be created and mandated. The art of successfully communicating the idea is critical throughout the program and in particular during the final pitches in the final week. Students will practice explaining their products throughout the course: first to their classmates and mentors followed by presenting the prototypes to real prospective users.
