”The PMA Leadership course was absolutely amazing. I found the course concise and very educational. I especially found the GTM frameworks especially useful as well as building a PM team, team management, pricing and the influence & being cross-functional. I will use my notes and supporting documents from each and every one of the modules in my daily job.
I also highly recommend this course to every PM leader as it touches on many elements that make up the PM discipline.”
Scott Eirfert
Director of Marketing
“The leadership-level course at PMA was really helpful in helping me plan, structure, and organize our product marketing team and our strategic plan for this year. The course content taught me both new things and gave an evidence-backed perspective (with templates!) on some things I had already been doing.
Definitely going to be recommending this to all my team members!”
