"Big thanks to Peter Monkhouse and Joanna Tivig for putting together this course and follow-up to their best selling book Gen P. The course and book are a highly digestible way to hone your skills as a Product Owner and a guide to making strong business decisions in general. Highly recommend this to both the seasoned and novice. Today's marketplace requires strong leaders who can deliver value on a dime and lead a team to best result. The Product Owner course covers the best practices to make that possible."
Syed Ishteaque Ahmed
Business Systems Analyst
"I have been greatly benefited by the templates shared in "The Product Owner - New Gen P" course. The templates adapts a lean approach for product documentation and is easily understable by the technical and business personnel. Completing the course assisted me to gain new and unique perspectives on product management and applying the knowledge earned at my work eventually enabled me to step in as a product management adviser to my functional managers. The book itself is a great guide for the daily product management activities."
Nesha Ali
PM CoE Consultant
"Having read the book Gen P, New generation of Product Owners Who Care about Customers, and completing the online course, I found a balanced mix of content that was timely, insightful and actionable. I consider it as foundational for anyone in project management.
I would recommend to organizations who invest in their human capital, making NewGenP courses available to better equip their staff who are tasked to make a transformation happen, solve a stalled adoption or even maintaining stability after a change.
For me, having worn a Project Management Centre of Excellence hat responsible for building capability at CIBC, I looked for training to provide value and the competency lift I needed to demonstrate. It was important for me to secure relevant instructional content, tools & templates, with guidance and support to build upon the best practices and work standards that we established."
