Product management is a lot like juggling: there are lots of moving parts and ever-changing goals, but it’s not a challenge you have to face alone.

To help both new and experienced Product Managers, our Toolkit provides a variety of re-usable templates for key management concepts. These include a variety of topics from drafting technical specifications to simulating failures for testing.

You may be asking, “Why are you giving this away for free?”

We believe we can do more good for Product Managers and working professionals by collaborating and sharing real-world experience to better support and improve our government services products.
