AI in the study programme

How is AI used in the Digital Product Management programme?

You will learn how AI can be applied in both idea development and the creation of product artifacts. AI plays an important role in streamlining the creative process, allowing you to quickly prototype and iterate on concepts.

You will gain hands-on experience with AI tools that help foster both innovation and efficiency in product development. This provides you with valuable skills to leverage AI in future product management projects.

How is AI being used in the workplace within Product Management?

AI is used to analyze data, predict customer behavior, and optimize product development processes. Tools that automate A/B testing, documentation updates, and user experience improvements are commonly used in product management. AI helps product managers make more informed decisions and streamline workflows.

To make the best use of AI, product managers must be able to assess the quality of AI-generated results and integrate them into creative and strategic decision-making.

You will learn to analyze user needs, plan features, test prototypes, and launch products, using agile and lean methods to balance costs, returns, and risks.

💰 According to salary statistics from Finn.no, digital product managers in Norway have an average annual salary of about 900,000 NOK.

Learning outcomes

The first semester equips you with basic skills in digital product creation. This includes identifying market gaps and user needs. You'll learn to identify problems, gather user insights and develop them into testable prototypes. Key to this semester is the mastering of visualisation techniques, which are essential for mapping out digital product concepts and user journeys.

The second semester takes these skills further, focusing on practical application in more complex scenarios. You'll learn to run digital product management workshops and strategise future digital projects, including in untapped markets. This will hone your ability to create compelling product propositions.

Each semester involves working on a substantial project with interim submissions. Both semesters conclude with a final submission of the project you have worked on.
