Programming
How we build together.
Three formats, all designed to turn PM curiosity into PM competence.
Bi-weekly
Product Labs
Hands-on 90-minute sessions where members work through real PM concepts together. Case practice, peer exercises, structured feedback. This is where the learning happens.
Session Format
- Concept review and framing
- Case practice and peer exercises
- Structured group feedback
- Real PM frameworks applied in session
Monthly
PM Guest Sessions
Informal conversations with APMs, PMs, and product leaders from Toronto's tech scene. Day-in-the-life talks, real decisions, real stories.
Session Format
- Day-in-the-life talks (single PM, informal)
- APM / PM conversations with Q&A
- Real decisions, real stories
- Direct access to Toronto's product ecosystem
Once per term
Projects
A 4-6 week scoped project where members produce a real PM artifact — a discovery brief or lo-fi solution pitch. Put what you've learned into practice.
Session Format
- Fall: Discovery brief
- Winter: Lo-fi solution pitch
- Scoped and supported throughout
- Builds a tangible PM portfolio piece
