The format

  • Biweekly live sessions
  • Q&A, discussion and polls
  • Trainers and guest experts

Carer value, ongoing

  • Career Q&As, CV and LinkedIn support
  • Hiring manager conversations

Stay fresh

Product Lab

Recurring challenges on real product problems. You work it, peers review it, a Productside expert responds. Your frameworks stay sharp instead of going quietly stale.

The format

  • Recurring challenges
  • Peer discussion and expert feedback
  • Selected solutions shared with the community

One hub. One conversation.

Your hub sits on productside.com. The day-to-day conversation happens in Slack, which you already have open. Nothing to download, nothing new to remember.

This was built for you:

  • You work in product, or you want to.
  • You’ve got questions that a course or a book can’t answer.
  • You want a say in what this becomes.

Badges

You'll know whose answer to trust

Badges sit on your hub profile and your Slack profile. When someone answers your question, you can see whether they’ve actually done the thing you’re asking about.

Who's in the room

Productside’s trainers are in the channels

Not a moderator team, and not a support queue. The real Productside trainers who run the courses, answering questions in Office Hours and in Slack, alongside alumni and product managers from across the industry.
