Module 1 of 5Lesson 1 of 1~3 min
Course overview
This course is for product managers who want to go from a fuzzy user problem to an experience that is designed, tested and planned. You learn to understand your users, design flows and screens, validate them with real users and then build a roadmap, using AI to move faster. You leave with a complete experience file for your own product.
Lesson objective
By the end of this overview, you will know what you are going to produce (an experience dossier made of 11 deliverables) and why the four modules follow the order understand, design, validate, then plan.
Topics covered
- product discovery
- user experience

What you will learn in the course
This lesson is part of the course Design and validate a product experience with AI
- Write a user-centered, testable problem statement backed by discovery evidence.
- Prepare, run and synthesize unbiased discovery interviews, using AI for preparation and synthesis without delegating judgment to it.
- Build a persona and job stories grounded in real quotes, then choose a target opportunity in an opportunity solution tree.
- Map a flow with its edge cases and turn it into low-fidelity wireframes that cover every screen state.
- Choose a prototype's fidelity and tool (including an AI prototyping tool), run a usability test and prioritize the problems observed.
- Prioritize a backlog with an explicit method (RICE, MoSCoW, value / effort), making the score's assumptions visible, and justify the trade-off.
- Build an outcome-based roadmap with success criteria, and write a handoff spec with acceptance criteria.
