Digital Product Leadership, Delivery and Change Management

This microdegree elevates product management from leading individual products to shaping and steering an entire product portfolio with measurable business impact. Participants develop the ability to make strategic trade-offs—balancing innovation, resource allocation, and long-term business goals in complex environments.

The real value lies in integrating strategy, design, and operations into a coherent leadership approach that works in dynamic and uncertain contexts. As a result, participants are equipped to lead digital product portfolios in a way that delivers consistent value while considering impact across the organization, its users, and society.

The microdegree is designed for experienced professionals responsible for digital product development, portfolio direction, or leading organizational change. It is particularly relevant for product managers, product leaders, technology and engineering managers, service owners, as well as innovation and business development leaders involved in strategic decision-making.

The program also suits professionals transitioning from managing individual products to broader leadership roles, aiming to develop capabilities in leading teams, shaping product portfolios, and driving organizational impact. Prior experience in digital products, product development, or technology environments—and involvement in decision-making processes—is expected.
