20 Online Courses That will Enhance Product Management skill

Since 2015 I am hiring and managing a Product Managers and I found that most of the time I found that PM in the industry lacks one or more of 3 main skills that need to exist in Product Manager. I have spent the time to find the best content on this marvelous topic to train and deliver guidance to people that are at the beginning of their Product Management career.

This fact got me in a situation to, sharpen my Product Management skills to become a much more knowledgeable Product Manager and guide my fellow PM team. A good Product Manager should have a decent knowledge of the following competency areas;

1. Product Design & Development
2. Technical Understanding
3. Analytics Understanding
4. Strategy

The skills that are listed are the basics that most of the tech companies are looking at a Product Manager. Companies like Google have established their hiring process based on these competency areas.

I thought that would be a nice idea to share the online courses that I found helpful in this journey.
