Description

This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.

In the product world, there is a subtle line between companies that are “constantly improving something” and companies that grow systematically, create categories, and set the rules of the game. This line is almost never about technology or the number of features. It is about the level of product leadership.

The role of a Chief Product Officer emerges precisely when a product stops being a collection of initiatives and becomes a strategic business asset. A CPO is not responsible for backlogs and roadmaps, but for a portfolio of decisions, investments in growth, team focus, and long-term value for both the customer and the company.

The path to this role is rarely obvious. Experience in product management, metrics, and team leadership is necessary, but not sufficient. At the CPO level, a different mindset is required: systemic, portfolio-driven, business-outcome-oriented, and focused on scale. Mistakes here are costly—wrong priorities, lost time, missed markets.

This course is designed as a practical roadmap for transitioning into the CPO role. It shows how product decisions are made at the C-level and why they define a company’s growth trajectory. The focus is on real executive challenges faced by product leaders, not abstract models “in a vacuum”.

Course program:

— the role and mission of the CPO, the evolution from product management to product leadership;

— building product strategy and linking it to business goals;

— product portfolio management and investment decisions;

— working with the market, customers, and validation of product hypotheses;

— building a product organization and operating model;

— metrics and analytics as tools for executive decision-making;

— monetization, unit economics, and growth through product;

— scaling, risk management, and entering new markets;

— the future of the CPO role: innovation, AI, and platform models.

The course provides a holistic understanding of how product becomes a business driver, not a support function. This is not theory “to think about”, but a practical management context you can apply immediately—either in your current role or while preparing for your next career step.

You get:

• Lifetime access to all course materials and future updates

• Active instructor support in the Q&A section

• Certificate of Completion (Udemy Certificate of Completion)

If the feeling that “the next level is already close” appears more and more often, but structure and strategic clarity are missing, postponing means consciously slowing your growth. Start building your path to the CPO role now and lock this step into your professional trajectory.
