At GoPractice, we help you grow your skills in building and growing successful products. While our main audience is product managers, we also aim to help analysts, marketers, designers, UX researchers, and many other IT specialists who contribute to building and understanding the value of a product.
Upskilling these professionals in understanding how products are built and grown will help your company achieve its business goals faster and more efficiently.
To do this, we create products that are useful at different stages and in different contexts of the professional career:
→ Data-Driven Product Management Simulator helps professionals understand how to use data and research to make product decisions.
→ Product Growth Simulator teaches you to find the levers that you can use to influence product growth.
→ SQL Simulator for Product Analytics will help you make important decisions way quicker and more effectively by using SQL.
→ Growth Skills Assessment Test provides an opportunity to evaluate your skills and develop a plan to take your skills to the next level.
→ Our blog includes essays that answer specific questions about the process of solving product-related problems.
We are building an ecosystem of products that supports professionals on their career paths from beginners to senior members of their organizations.
Our key goal is to ensure these specialists achieve their goals and move forward in their careers faster.
