Became a Cohort Member at Unlearn Product: My Journey So Far
Here’s a week-by-week recap of my incredible journey through the Unlearn Product cohort:
Week 1 – The journey began with a virtual introduction to the cohort members—a dynamic group of experienced professionals from diverse backgrounds. We kicked things off with an individual assignment to improve the Be My Eyes app, focusing on ideation and delivering an MVP.
Week 2 – My first team assignment: building a Road Trip Travel App. We made mistakes, learned from them, and developed a deep appreciation for research and analysis as the foundation of product development.
Week 3 – This week was all about mastering tools used by Product Managers. From creating backlogs and user stories to writing detailed PRDs on Notion and designing features on Figma, I gained hands-on experience with the essential PM toolkit.
Week 4 – A new team assignment brought an exciting challenge: ideating a feature for Netflix to auto-mute or censor explicit content. This feature was tailored for families in India and the Middle East, enabling them to enjoy bold content without awkward moments.
Week 5 – The GTM Strategy Week. From social media campaigns to SEO and SEM, we explored every facet of marketing strategy. Safe to say, I felt like I could take on the role of a Marketing Head by the end of this session!
Week 6 – Meeting the last cohort’s winning team was a true inspiration. Their product, Surview, was built and delivered in record time, bridging a gap in the survey process. It was a motivational booster that fueled us to push our limits.
Week 7 – The beginning of the final product journey! With new teams and a fresh problem statement, we embarked on creating a product that solves a real-world problem.
Week 8 – The building phase continues. Daily stand-ups have become intense brainstorming marathons, lasting hours. Bonus: all that standing is definitely strengthening my thighs! 💪
Week 9 – To be started…
Demo Day – The grand finale! The big day awaits, where all the hard work and learning will culminate in presenting our final product.
This journey has been a rollercoaster of learning, collaboration, and growth. From ideation to execution, each week has taught me invaluable lessons that go beyond just tools and frameworks. I’m thrilled about what’s to come and can’t wait to showcase what we’ve built!
