How you'll work.

In sprints - two weeks each. A sprint is a set of tasks with clear acceptance criteria: you build each one and ship it as a submission.

build → submit → get reviewed → next task

Your work gets read. A mentor from Relativity reviews what you ship - and so do cohort-mates walking the same sprint.

Live sessions run on the cohort's calendar. Real time with the crew.

You're never solo. Your cohort has a shared room, and a help room for when you're stuck. Sprints unlock on the cohort's shared beat - the pace inside each one is yours.

Took me two tries to get this split right - yours is cleaner than mine.

Clean split between the service and the controller. One naming nit - see my note, then ship it.

What you'll be able to do.

skills you gain

Discovery & Requirements Gathering Stakeholder Communication Handling Ambiguity User Story Writing Prioritization & MVP Definition Roadmapping Basics Presentation & Storytelling Skills

  • Master the discovery process by learning how to ask the right questions, identify stakeholder needs, and turn vague ideas into clear, actionable insights.

  • Handle ambiguity with confidence, practicing how to deal with incomplete or conflicting information and still move a project forward with structured thinking.

  • Organize and prioritize requirements using simple frameworks to separate what’s essential now from what can come later, setting the foundation for strong MVP planning.

  • Write effective user stories that clearly capture who the user is, what they need, and why it matters — ensuring alignment between business goals and customer value.

  • Communicate like a product manager, building slide decks and short presentations that explain your thinking simply and persuasively to non-technical stakeholders.

  • Shape your first product roadmap, by recommending a starting scope, exploring next steps, and practicing how to tell the story of a product journey from idea to impact.

The people who review your work.

Mentors from Relativity - the people on the other side of your reviews, and the hosts of the live sessions.
