Prodily's curriculum introduces reusable mental models for framing problems, making decisions, prioritizing opportunities, understanding trade-offs, and communicating product thinking.
These aren't tips to memorize. They're tools to help you reason through product problems.
Every sound product decision simultaneously satisfies user demand, technical feasibility, and business monetization.
Sequential diagnostic workflow: Problem ➔ User Insight ➔ Tradeoff Choice ➔ Sprint Delivery ➔ Outcome.
Separates the operator using the product from the executive signing the procurement contract.
A structured evaluation matrix comparing opportunities across prevalence, severity, and alignment before committing engineering resources to delivery.
4-part diagnostic matrix specifying exact user persona, friction point, workaround failure, and business cost.
A continuous operating model for transitioning validated user opportunities into engineering backlogs without context loss or telephone-game degradation.
A mental model for calibrating specification depth: providing absolute clarity on problem statements, success metrics, and non-goals while leaving implementation architecture to engineering specialists.
A dual-track prioritization model combining quantitative RICE scoring (Reach, Impact, Confidence, Effort) with qualitative MoSCoW boundary definition to make strategic trade-offs explicit.
A hierarchical decomposition connecting the primary North Star Metric to breadth, depth, frequency, and efficiency input levers that individual product squads can directly influence.
4-level alignment protocol: Data Alignment ➔ Tradeoff Framing ➔ Context Request ➔ Exec Decision.
6-axis craft competency benchmark evaluating real product capability across all key PM domains.
Synthesis of all 90 lessons into instinctual, real-world product judgment.
Explore the full curriculum and put these mental models into practice.
