Master Class: Continuous Discovery Habits (Various Dates)
Develop the habits and critical thinking skills of a high-performing continuous discovery product team.
Enroll in Course
More teams are moving toward a truly cross-functional product team model where the teams that develops the product (i.e. product manager, designers, software engineers) are the ones responsible for doing their own discovery. They do their own user research, conduct their own experiments, and synthesize what they are learning week-over-week to support their daily product decisions.
In this Master Class, you’ll learn how to develop the habits necessary to create a continuous feedback loop between your product development ideas and your customers. You’ll learn how to start with a research question on Monday and end with some answers on Friday, in a way that is sustainable every week of the year.
This Master Class will mix real-world case studies with hands-on exercises to ensure that you go home with actionable takeaways. Come learn what the future of product discovery looks like.
We’ll cover:
- Getting to Evidence-Based, Team Decisions
- Starting with Outcomes
- Discovering Opportunities
- Adopting Continuous Interviewing

Here's what students have said about the curriculum:
"I feel like I got let in on a secret that great product managers all practice. Teresa broke things down and uses mapping in incredibly insightful ways!"
- Cameron Westland - Chief Technology Officer - Delphia
"I was able to take what I learned and immediately put it into practice at my job and am already seeing benefits from it. The hands on experience of doing the process from start to finish is well worth it."

This Master Class will be a series of six weekly, two-hour live sessions conducted via Zoom meeting software and will cover the entire Continuous Discovery Habits curriculum. Participants will work in groups via Zoom breakout rooms applying the tools and frameworks to a real-world case study. I’ve been coaching and teaching virtually for the past six years and plan to make this immersive, interactive, and fun.
Here's what previous students said about the online format:
"Doing it online and spaced out was great, because I got to fully focus on the material in intense bursts and then spend a week trying to use it before coming back for the next bit. Made a large amount of content more digestible."
- Andrew Skotzko, Director of Product
"Excellent use of Zoom breakout rooms, and the weekly updated Miro board template was a very effective shared work tool. Couldn't have been better in terms of online learning."
- Zach Powers, Product Manager, Quantum Spatial, Inc.
Participants will also have a dedicated Slack channel in the Continuous Discovery Habits Slack community to stay connected with the instructors and their peers. Many choose to use this community to get help applying what they are learning to their own work.
