What is Product Fit?
Product Fit is a yearly program of team-wide training and guidance.
With Product Fit you benefit from Brainmates’ extensive experience as Product Managers, our Product Management training, and our Product Management Framework.
Product Fitness is the constant pursuit of the well-being of your product.
Modern Product leaders need to ensure that their organisation’s products remain relevant and profitable within a dynamic market environment.
Achieving and sustaining Product Fitness requires a skilled and motivated Product team. When Product teams are not aligned and do not have a consistent Product Management approach, then the business suffers.
Brainmates’ Product Fit program is designed to support your Product team throughout the year to effectively build and grow great products that customers love.
Your Product Team Will...
- Lift their game to deliver strong and agile products to market
- Develop a holistic approach to Product Fitness
- Build on their core Product Management competencies
- Learn how to best leverage team strengths
- Share the same language and concepts to work more efficiently
- Develop daily habits to monitor and grow Product Fitness
- Draw on the latest methods and techniques
- Be professionally supported throughout the year

How Does Product Fit Work?
Product Fit is an annual package of formal training plus individual coaching from Brainmates Product Management experts.
It starts with an assessment of the Product Management competencies of your Product People.
Then we design a learning and improvement programme driven by your teams’ capabilities.
Contact Brainmates to chat about who in your team would benefit from the Product Fit program.
How big is your squad?
The number of people you decide to include in the Product Fit program determines how much you pay annually, and the number of training days you receive:
