How do you become a Product Manager?

Trilogy Education helps companies meet the rising demand for tech talent by partnering with the world’s leading universities to prepare students for careers in Product Management.

Trilogy’s project-based curriculum includes in-depth training in design principles and exposure to the latest toolsets used by today’s product development teams. Students use iterative processes and techniques (including Design Thinking and Storytelling) as they collaborate to build evocative, engaging, and user-centric products and solve real-world problems with tight-deadlines. Together, they learn the practice of strategically driving the development, market launch, and continual support and improvement of a company’s products.

My role:

As a member of the learning design team, I synthesized and translated complex content and data into visualizations and stories that help students learn as they acquire the most in-demand, industry-relevant skills.

My responsibilities included:

  • creating instructional content supports for the learning design platform
  • interpreting complex technical concepts and systems
  • establishing pacing and flow of instruction
  • employing basic design principles (hierarchy, emphasis, balance and alignment, contrast, repetition, proportion, movement, variety, and white space) to create visually appealing and functional designs that aid comprehension
