- Digital product management is crucial at a time when digital products and services are playing an increasingly important role in the business world, says the program leader.
From August 2024, Noroff Higher Vocational College offers a one-year study program in Digital Product Management. The program prepares students to lead the development, launch and management of digital products and services. Digital innovation is an important key to business development, and the ability to lead teams that can improve and develop digital products is recognised as increasingly valuable across a range of industries.
Experts who can identify market opportunities
Through the program, students learn to master the methods and tools needed to identify and validate user needs, as well as to prioritise features and improvements in existing digital products. Digital Product Management covers topics such as product strategy, marketing, user experience design, project management and data analysis.
– Having experts who can identify market opportunities, develop profitable digital products and optimise existing services is essential, says program manager Lars Lægreid.
He says that employees with expertise in digital product management have the ability to help companies define their product strategy, as well as develop and launch digital products.
– They will be able to manage the product lifecycle and analyse user data for continual improvement. In addition, they can effectively coordinate multidisciplinary teams to ensure success in the marketplace, he says.
Digital product managers work with product strategy, product development and testing, as well as marketing and revenue optimisation.
