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
