MicroMasters®Program in Digital Product Management
**The Digital Product Management and Digital Leadership MicroMasters® Programs, available on edX.org between 2017 and 2021, are no longer offered at this time. The Digital Transformation Leadership MicroMasters® program is a re-imagined version of the two programs and combines the 5 core courses from both of those programs.**
Product Manager is one of the hottest positions in the emerging digital economy. The Product Manager is essentially the “CEO” of a digital product. They understand and articulate needs; set up roadmaps, plan and coordinate the development process; champion and launch products and oversee the product life cycle. They are the implementers of ideas in digital business innovation.

- Creating product roadmaps
- Taking products from initial concept through user research, co-creation, and rapid prototyping
- Agile and lean management practices for creating software and digital products
- Social media and market testing methods
- Applying perspective from best practices in platform-based strategies.

What’s a MicroMasters® program?
A MicroMasters® program is a series of higher-level courses derived from Universities master’s programs and endorsed by companies for relevant job advancement and deeper learning in a specific subject area. Students verifying, completing, and passing all courses in a MicroMasters® program receive an edX MicroMasters® program credential, which can count towards Master’s degree credit if the learner applies to the university offering the credential and is accepted.
MicroMasters® program offerings allow learners to demonstrate capacity and mastery of material for a given career area, and enable edX partners to showcase the educational offerings of their institutions as well as viewing the capabilities and drive of potential student applicants to on-campus programs.
