The PDMA Body of Knowledge (BoK) is a comprehensive program that covers the fundamental principles of product development and management. It has been built over the years by hundreds of contributors and can be applied to a wide range of industries. As a result, PDMA has decided to offer this content as a Professional Development Program for our community.

Meaningful Learning Using Real-World Examples
Expert product development practitioners and talented educators will be teaching seven key areas of study, including:

  1. Strategy
  2. Portfolio management
  3. New products process
  4. Culture, organization, and teams
  5. Tools and metrics
  6. Market research
  7. Life cycle management


In addition to instructor-led discussions, you’ll use real-world situations during each class to learn about the fundamentals of product development, product management, and innovation. You’ll apply the applicable tools, methodologies, and strategies to your own company projects, product lines, and product challenges for a more meaningful learning experience. Each week, you’ll leave with invaluable knowledge and insight that you can use in your current product development roles as well as your future roles.
