It's like quantum mechanics, but of product development
The main rule of a modern product development is simple:
Everybody wants to get the same result with less effort.
Actually, it’s simple. And bloody hard at the same time.
Hi, I'm Evan
And I'm a passionate product manager. I've always wanted to find the answer to the simple question — "How to create products that people would buy?". I believe the aspects of this answer are brain function principles, behavioral psychology, economics, physics laws, and the mentality of the team creating the product.
For five years, I've been developing a framework that considers all of these aspects. And I'm doing my best to make it clear to anyone from an IT specialist to somebody with no IT background: a farmer, a local businessman, or his employee. Literally anyone.
Working system out of a pure mess
I'm here to make product management and development as clear as day. No, I won't share some cheat codes to show off in front of your stakeholders. Instead, I give you a clear and arranged logic of how to make the right management decisions to achieve your goals.
Before course
-
Your brain is full of frameworks, but you don’t know how to use them.
-
You are unsure about your decisions because you can't rely on a framework mess in your head, so you decide to take intuitive steps, make mistakes and turn the panic mode on. And you fail.
After course
-
You have a working system of different frameworks and flawlessly use it.
-
You're confident about your decisions because you know how to make them. Whatever happens, you're doubtless. And you win.

Let’s sum it up!
I didn't have well-structured knowledge, did I?
Well, you probably didn't. But now you certainly have it, and your skills are so advanced that you can help your colleagues and stay confident even under the most challenging deadlines.

But, in the end, how do I create the product?
Now you can answer this question by yourself. The course is all about it. Moreover, you've already mastered your skills in real life.
