The vocabulary the exams and the daily work both assume you already have. Every entry gives the definition, the source it is drawn from, and the misreadings that follow from getting it wrong.

Use the five layers of the product strategy stack to check alignment and diagnose gaps between company direction and product work.
Strategy
Apply the course to a fictional maintenance business. Produce a market estimate, strategy brief, experiment plan, economics model and roadmap with a downloadable workbook.
Strategy
A product is a vehicle to deliver value with a clear boundary, known stakeholders and well-defined users or customers.
Scrum
Final acceptance, contract closure, releasing resources and archiving records, why a cancelled project is closed the same way, and the difference between a deliverable being accepted and a benefit being realised.
Project Management
Deciding who needs what information, when, in what form and how often, and keeping the plan that records it in actual use.
Project Management
How a project moves from an estimate to a cost baseline to a funding requirement, where contingency and management reserve sit relative to each, and what it means to control spend.
Project Management
The framework of decision rights on a project, meaning who decides what, at which thresholds and on what evidence, and why writing it down makes delivery faster.
Project Management
Quality is conformance to requirements and fitness for purpose, bought through prevention ahead of inspection, and measured by a cost of quality model that reaches past handover.
Project Management
Risk is uncertainty with an effect on an objective, and the effect may be positive, so the same identification, analysis and response machinery serves threats and opportunities alike.
Project Management
Establishing what work is in the project and keeping it there, which turns on the difference between product scope and project scope and on whether each change passed through a decision.
Project Management
Finding the people a project affects, understanding where each of them stands, and closing the gap between that and where the project needs them.
Project Management
Compare project, product, rolling and staged funding. Define spending limits, evidence reviews and decision authority without losing financial control.
Strategy
Build a repeatable prompt and context engineering workflow with versioned artefacts, evaluation ownership, trace review and a practical capstone project.
Artificial Intelligence
Run a practical Python prompt engineering lab, compare two prompts by case and segment, then test your own changes with an optional live model.
Artificial Intelligence
Understand direct and indirect prompt injection, how untrusted content redirects LLM applications and how to test the boundaries around data and tools.
Artificial Intelligence
Build prompt regression tests that compare baseline and candidate versions, expose segment level failures and enforce quality, cost and latency gates.
Artificial Intelligence
Version prompts with their model, schema and retrieval settings, then deploy through evaluation, canary monitoring and a tested rollback process.
Artificial Intelligence
How a measured difference becomes a decision to ship, iterate or abandon, what the flat result actually says, the eight result shapes and the decision each one supports, and why shipping a change that did nothing has a cost.
Metrics
Deliberately trying to make a system misbehave before somebody else does, how the exercise is run, what it cannot establish and what regulators now expect of it.
Artificial Intelligence
When a Done Increment can reach users, why the Sprint Review is not a gate, and what a rare batched release does to the feedback loop.
