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.
