Gigantic Institute Reviews 14

This is the second Gigantic course I've taken and they remain at the sharp end of relevant and engaging material.

The AI Product Management course opened my eyes to the realistic possibilities that I can implement and opened the black box that is generative AI.

I can now talk with authority on the subject within my own organisation.

Gigantic was instrumental in elevating my understanding of product leadership. The course was meticulously structured and showcased some of the industry's most seasoned and enthusiastic product leaders. It not only enhanced my strategic thinking but also furnished me with invaluable tools to cultivate the vital soft skills associated with senior PM roles, which are often challenging to acquire through available resources. I wholeheartedly recommend this course to fellow product managers aspiring to advance their careers and evolve into the next generation of product leaders.

For anyone looking to accelerate their Product Leadership path, Gigantic's Product Strategy & Leadership program is the perfect place to start. Split between the real world needs of what it takes to manage a product team's activities, like metrics, vision, and strategy and what it takes to actually lead a product organisation, this program has it all. With real world focussed sessions, activities that you can take into the office immediate, and in person sessions, you get to really dive in and understand what it takes to be a successful Product leader. I couldn't recommend this program highly enough.

The AI for Product Management course was exactly the content and education that I needed to position myself as a product strategist and leadership during these unsure times of AI. AI is going to change businesses, products, and our personal workflows as we know it, and so having the foundation of what AI is, how to measure it's success, and having tools and frameworks to do so was a major need. In the course, the instructors were thorough with their understanding of AI, making distinctions between the various types of AI and why they are important, as well as picking the right one for a product. Reviewing how to train an AI, as well as whether to make model from scratch or use an existing one, as inspired my creative problem solving skills to build a product that is both business viable and loved by users. I would highly recommend Gigantic to anyone looking to be a better product leader!

Honestly the most helpful course and learning experience I've ever had. The course modules and materials were well-curated and easy to follow and work through; I learnt so much just from doing the modules. For me though, the true value came from the weekly mentorship group sessions with some of my cohort members - sharing and learning from each other's experiences was so incredibly helpful for me.

I was able to take my learnings from this course and deliver a presentation on our new Product Vision and Strategy that was incredibly well-received and has formed the basis of our annual OKRs for the next 12 months.

Being from South Africa, the course fees were unfortunately far out of reach because of our exchange rate but Micheal Sacca didn't hesitate to help with a discount arrangement so that I could benefit from this, which I truly appreciate.

I'll definitely be taking more Gigantic certifications!

The Product Leadership class has been highly valuable in giving me confidence and tools to attack problems proactively. The course materials and resources are great but the real selling point to me and reason for my 5 star review is the mentoring sessions. You definitely get out of it what you put in but there is something great about having a group to talk through real world challenges with, to get beyond the theory and frameworks to how it can enable change. I highly recommend take one of their courses. I've sampled a number of them and find them to be high caliber.

As a product leader, I found this course invaluable, in terms of insights, tools and becoming part of a valuable product leadership community, who shared, discussed and helped resolve issues for each other.
A really valuable course, lots to learn whether strategic, tactical or process related and all very applicable to your day to day role as a product leader.
Shout out to Mike Rotella for his great weekly live sessions as well, a real value add to the course.

I enrolled in Gigantic’s 12-week Product Management online course to enhance and refine my PM skills. After researching various alternatives, I found other courses to be too expensive, emphasizing theoretical content and exams rather than practical day-to-day applications. This led me to choose Gigantic's course, tailored specifically for practicing Product Managers. The course is comprised of online learning modules and weekly group sessions for debriefing on the content and how we can apply it to our current positions. Michael, our awesome and knowledgeable facilitator, effectively connected our weekly learning modules to real-world scenarios. He also brought in PMs from prominent companies to share their experiences. Additionally, I had the opportunity to connect with other PMs from around the US and world. I highly recommend this course and anticipate enrolling in future courses at Gigantic. Thank you!

If you want to invest in the early stages of your product career and upskill, I highly recommend the Product Management course by Gigantic. This was my first time signing up (and paying for) a 12-week product management online course that I saw as an investment in my career development. I'm so glad I chose this course as I got to learn from high-quality learning resources and product people in the field. Michael led the group weekly sessions where we debriefed on the week's learning module and also allowed 3 other product learners and me to discuss any roadblocks or questions in our day-to-day product work. I'm so glad I got to meet everyone and I have learnt so much from Michael and my group in this 12-week period. It's a great way to network too and I am looking forward to doing another Gigantic course in 2024.

Extremely relevant and applicable content. I haven't seen a course with this focus on the leadership aspect of product, let alone one that delivers on it in such an easy to digest manner. The mentors and instructors were a very knowledgeable resource while going through the course as well

My favorite part of the Product Leadership course at Gigantic was the series of real-world case studies and interactive cohort workshops. These sessions allowed me to dive deep into real challenges faced by top-tier companies, dissect their decision-making processes, and, in some cases, even devise our own solutions in a collaborative setting.

Engaging with these case studies, each representing unique industry scenarios, was invaluable. It provided a fresh perspective on approaching product dilemmas, considering multiple stakeholders, and making decisions that align with a company's long-term vision.

The interactive nature of the workshops was another highlight. Collaborating with peers, many of whom came from diverse backgrounds and industries, enriched the learning experience. These sessions were often intense, with great debates and discussions, but they refined my ability to communicate ideas, accept constructive feedback, and build on others' inputs.

Furthermore, these workshops had an element of mentorship. Industry veterans and seasoned product leaders frequently guided our discussions, shared their personal experiences, and provided invaluable feedback. This blend of theory, real-world application, and mentorship made the course stand out, making the case studies and workshops my favorite part of the entire experience.

This course has truly been transformational for me as a product leader. The content is really well considered, and I found that every week I was implementing what I had learnt in my own day to day and with my team. It's helped me to define structure and a really clear framework from which to create real impact. The combination of async learning and weekly live discussions has allowed me to be flexible while still motivating me to put the time in each week. Thank you to the team!

I have been leading Product teams for well over a decade and I got a huge amount of value out of this course and the insights from my cohort in the live sessions.

The course is extremely well structured and thought through with content developed by Ben Foster and his team at Prodify following many of the principles of his book 'Build what matters'. It runs over 15 weeks with on demand video content you can watch and review as your schedule allows and each model ends with a live session with your cohort and a mentor to bring it all together with the opportunity to talk through live examples and gain ideas, feedback or sometimes just sympathy.

If you are a product leader past, present or future you will gain something from this course.
