Product management training

As a part of 18F’s work to transition ownership of the site fully to the ONRR team, the 18F team helped train one of the ONRR team members into the product management role on the team. We based our approach on 18F’s emerging product training curriculum. Here’s what we covered:

The role of a PM & framing your product vision

• Product Management 101 (covers the basics of the role and product framing)

Translating high-level goals to actionable work

• Roadmapping
• Building your backlog
• Metrics & measurement

Running an agile team

• Scrum overview
• Running sprint meetings
• Managing product risk

Communication & stakeholder management

• Crafting a central product narrative
• Broadcasting your product narrative
• Visibility & continuous updates
