The lean starter kit for product leaders
Product information
Regain control over your product delivery process and refocus team conversations on customer value.
Messages are piling up, meetings are back-to-back, and every stakeholder wants answers—now. You spend your days clarfiying tickets, juggling priorities, handling emergencies... but there’s no time left to think about the product itself. Endless context-switching and ego management have pushed you away from your dream job: crafting superb products, at the right pace, in a supportive and vibrant team atmosphere.
This bootcamp helps you take back control. Using lean tools like kanban, kaizen, and macro planning, you’ll learn how to optimize collaboration with tech, design, ops, support… as well as leadership. You’ll build a system where progress doesn’t depend on you alone, and earn trust with stakeholders. Less micromanagement, more impact. You’ll be the one who realigns, clarifies, and gets things moving in the right direction.
