FuseLab Lightning Workshop #2

Description

Everyone thinks PM is about writing PRDs and running standups. It's not. The best Product Managers are the ones who obsess over why users behave the way they do, who can navigate ambiguity without freezing, and who get things shipped when everyone else is still debating. That rare combination of curiosity, judgment, and execution? It's called product sense — and it can be learned. 0 → PM is a 90-minute workshop designed to give you a real taste of what product thinking looks like in practice — and show you exactly how to make the leap. What We'll Cover The PM Mindset and BasicsWhat separates great PMs from the rest has nothing to do with seniority or background. We'll break down what product sense actually means — and why curiosity, the willingness to navigate complexity, and the drive to get things done are the real entry requirements. Your Unfair Advantage [20 min] Whatever your background — tech, design, marketing, or none of the above — you already have skills that make great PMs. We'll show you exactly what they are and how to reframe them for product. AI & the Future of Product [20 min] AI is reshaping what PMs do and what companies hire for. We'll cut through the noise and give you a clear, honest picture of where the opportunities are — and how to position yourself for them now. Product Sense Lab [35 min]This is where it gets real. In small groups, you'll pick a product you use, tear it apart — users, problem, monetisation, market strategy — and present your thinking. Live feedback included. No slides required, just your instincts.
