About this course

The most common reason for the failure of business ventures is the mismatch of the product with what the market needs. The product can be perfect from the technical side, it can have an excellent design and strong marketing. However, success is not guaranteed without a thorough study of consumer spirits.

Меня впервые назначили ответственным за проект. Дали свою команду, сроки, инструменты, обрисовали желаемый результат, а как управлять всем этим не рассказали. Я на менеджерских должностях раньше совсем не работал. Пошел изучать предмет)) Курс разложил всю тему CustDev по полочкам: жизненный цикл продукта, глубинные интервью и обратная связь с пользователями, создание MVP и т.д. Все четко, поэтапно, строго по делу. Нет "воды", как в лекциях на Ютуб - только техники, которые я и начал сразу применять в работе с командой. Как результат - заказчик доволен, потенциальные клиенты тоже, все ребята сосредоточены и мы почти довели проект до конца. Хочу также отметить, что мне понравилось качество самих видео, монтаж и то, как говорит спикер. Очень комфортно для восприятия, не говоря уже о том, что урок можно остановить в любой момент и вернуться к нему позже.

Наглядный учебник по кастдеву. Все понятно, четко, быстро, без лишних рассуждений. Очень полезные кейсы в домашних заданиях, да и сами дз что надо. Курс подойдет для тех, кто хочет научиться основам cust dev буквально в свободный выходной, а не тратить на это кучу времени. Супер-полезно, спасибо создателям.
