About This Course
A two-day course for aspiring and practising Product Managers in government, aligned to the Government Digital and Data Capability Framework.
Product ownership in government is fundamentally different. Your customer is citizens, your stakeholder might be a minister, and your priorities can shift with a policy announcement. This course is built around those realities.

- The Product Manager role in government - balancing user needs, policy intent, and technical constraints
