Apply the whole course to a realistic product situation: from problem and hypothesis through MVP, prioritization, metrics, and a roadmap recommendation.
The end-to-end PM flow
Putting the whole course together
Every product decision follows the same underlying flow, regardless of the domain. You start by clearly stating the problem and the user it affects (Units 1–2). Before building anything, you form a testable hypothesis: if <change>, then <metric> will <move>, because <reason> (Unit 2). You then identify the cheapest experiment or MVP that will generate the most validated learning for the least effort — and you resist the temptation to build a full product before you have evidence (Unit 3).
Once you have enough signal to act, you prioritize candidate solutions using a named framework: RICE if you need to compare many options across reach and confidence; MoSCoW if you need a quick stakeholder-aligned cut; Kano if you need to separate must-haves from delighters (Unit 4). You choose metrics that measure the outcome you care about — retention, activation, or a North Star metric — and you actively avoid vanity metrics like raw download counts that can grow while the product declines (Unit 5).
Finally, you communicate the plan as a roadmap that expresses direction and priorities (now / next / later) rather than a fixed delivery calendar, and you handle stakeholder input by combining quantitative data with qualitative discovery signals (Unit 6). No single unit is independent: each step informs the next, and a weak link — a vague problem, an untested hypothesis, a vanity metric — makes the whole chain fragile.
