Workshop: Product Management for Non-Technical People

Registration is open now.  You can register by filling out the form below or going here.

Product management has been one of the most sought-after skills over the last decade. Product management came into being primarily as a career option in the technology industry. However, it has since become a role increasingly relevant and in demand across industries.

Product management as a career has gained significant prominence in Bangladesh over the last several years. The demand for product managers continues to grow in tech and startups as well as in local and multinational corporations. 

Compared to the demand, there is a huge gap in the market in terms of the availability of skilled product managers. Universities yet don’t teach product management. This leaves people who are interested in product management and want to build a career in product management with limited options to learn product management. There are online courses but they often don’t address the context challenges one faces. If you are someone who comes from a non-technical background, it can be an even greater challenge for you. 

This is where our workshop on product management, a collaborative initiative of Future Startup and BYEAH, for non-technical people comes from. If you're interested in product management but don't have a technical background, this workshop is for you. 

The workshop will be held on 3 June 2023 and will feature Khondoker Mashuk Ibn Mahfuz, Sr. Vice President of Product and Business Intelligence at fast-growing travel-tech startup Go Zayaan, as the workshop facilitator. Mashuk and his team are responsible for product development and management, as well as business intelligence efforts at GoZayaan, making him the perfect person to guide you through the basics of product management. The workshop will be interactive, allowing participants to ask questions and share their own experiences.
