Validating product ideas with interviews for Product Managers (Skillshare)

I designed this course for Product Managers who have new product or feature ideas and would like to talk to customers and learn whether their idea will fly. This is the first and ultimate question in product development: do customers need my product? Do they need it so dearly that they would actually pay for it? So, how do you figure this out before actually building the product? Well, user research has your back covered. You can find out whether customers need a product or a feature even before you wrote a single line of code.
