Learn the 3 step process of building a technical prototype without having to write a line of code. You'll learn:
- Putting pen to paper - Getting the idea from one's head and into a format where product owners can begin to discuss the idea coherently with others. A major focus at this stage is scoping the product functionality and asking questions like, "Is this core to the problem that I'm trying to solve?"
- Wire framing - With an understanding of the product functionality, product owners should visually model the user flows of their product. This exercise helps product owners get a feel for the complexity of their product and forces them to take the time to intimately understand how a user will navigate their product.
- Project management - With the first iteration of the product understood, the product owner should know how to write user stories and how to manage a project with an engineering team. We run through how to use tools like Pivotal Tracker, Trello, Assembla and others.
