Product management for nonprofit decision-makers

Nonprofits today aren’t just technology users; they also build and deploy technical products. The product management discipline has existed for years in the tech sector, but only sparingly among nonprofits. Consequently, there is much nonprofits can do to ensure their technology works for their staff, donors, and the communities they serve. By understanding the suite of responsibilities that product managers traditionally manage, nonprofit decision-makers can better lead their teams to be effective at delivering against their mission and having a positive impact.

This course will:

• Define and explain the product manager’s responsibilities and where they often appear in nonprofits.
• Provide attendees with real-world examples of product management in and outside the nonprofit sector.
• Describe how leaders can hire and develop product management talent and responsibilities within their organization.
• Explore the state of product management in nonprofit organizations, as described in the recent NTEN report, The State of Product Management in the Nonprofit Sector.

This is one of two new courses focusing on product management. Thanks to a funder, scholarships are available for both courses. Learn about Product management strategies for nonprofits and apply for scholarships for both courses.
