From our fellows

• “After completing the PLA program, my biggest breakthrough has been reframing how we design programs at Unipod. Through discovery, testing, and iteration, I've cut attrition by 30% and boosted engagement by 42% by redesigning around user insights.”

• “This transformation boosted my confidence and influence, leading to a promotion from Associate Product and Customer Success to Senior Associate, Product Management and Customer Success.”

• “I've learned to keep questioning until I reach the final 'why,' making my work and the developers' easier. I now see the importance of avoiding bias, validating with customers, and truly understanding them to define and refine problem statements.”

• “I experienced a significant career milestone after the program. This shift reduced engineering waste and aligned work with validated user needs, enabling me to succeed from day one.”

• “I applied lessons learnt into "SlikRide", a lean start-up my friend and I started. I'll never forget our first week: 14 rides and 1 delivery completed, a mix of shock and excitement! PLA taught me to fall in love with the problem, not the solution.”

• “Before joining PLA, I misunderstood product management as just writing PRDs and roadmaps. This program has transformed me into a problem-obsessed, user-driven, discovery-minded product manager.”
