My own experience is largely in the United States, so the content will lean towards US-based folks. But the content is also appropriate for countries where there are many fast-growing technology product companies and equity is a significant portion of compensation.
Yes. While a lot of the language here & in the course itself is specific to TPM, non-TPMs will still find it extremely valuable and find most of what's covered in the course applies to their function & role. So if you are in a program-focused role without a TPM title, you could still consider enrolling.
I have designed this course based on research with busy professionals. Because you already have a lot on your plate, this course can be navigated at your own pace. Total time commitment is 3-5 hours, though of course you can choose to spend more time on the bonus materials and with your peers in the community.
