What should we build next?
Continuous discovery answers that question week after week: talk to customers, map opportunities to outcomes, and test assumptions before you build. In six weeks, this course introduces every habit and has you practice each one on a real case study with your cohort.
What you'll learn
- Defining Clear Outcomes: Good discovery starts with a clear outcome. Outcomes set the scope of our work.
- Continuous Interviewing: Discover unmet customer needs, pain points, and desires.
- Opportunity Mapping: Get a big-picture view of the best way to reach your outcome.
- Effective Ideation: Generate multiple good solutions, unlocking the power of compare-and-contrast decisions.
- Identifying Hidden Assumptions: Deconstruct ideas into their underlying assumptions.
- Assumption Testing: Determine which ideas will work and which won't.
Who this is for

What students say
Doing it online and spaced out was great, because I got to fully focus on the material in intense bursts and then spend a week trying to use it before coming back for the next bit. Made a large amount of content more digestible.
You'll walk away with concrete, actionable steps to clarify business and product outcomes, understand customer stories, and learn to test assumptions to build better products.
This has been the most immediately applicable, useful, and inspiring workshop, course, or masterclass I've ever taken.
I feel like I got let in on a secret that great product managers all practice. Teresa broke things down and uses mapping in incredibly insightful ways!
I was able to take what I learned and immediately put it into practice and am already seeing benefits from it. Doing the process from start to finish is well worth it.
Do it! I got so much out of this course. The only thing I'd change is that I wish I'd done it sooner.
Excellent use of Zoom breakout rooms, and the weekly updated Miro board template was a very effective shared work tool. Couldn't have been better in terms of online learning.
Designed by the Author of Continuous Discovery Habits
Teresa Torres wrote the book on continuous discovery. Continuous Discovery Habits has become the standard playbook for product teams that want to interview customers every week and act on what they learn, and this course is where those habits are taught live.
Cohorts are taught by the Product Talk instructor team, coaches who have worked with hundreds of product teams putting these habits into practice.
Every student earns a course completion certificate
On the last day of class, you'll get a course completion certificate that you can share on LinkedIn or anywhere else you list credentials.
Frequently asked questions
When does the course meet?
We meet for 2-hour live sessions via Zoom each week for six weeks in a row. For the specific dates and times of each cohort, see the cohort schedule on the enrollment page.
What is your refund policy?
We try to accommodate refund requests whenever possible. However, due to limited capacity, we cannot issue refunds within 14 days of the start date of the course. If you are unable to attend the course and you missed the refund deadline, you can transfer your ticket to another student up until the day before the course starts. We are not able to make any roster changes once the course starts.
What if I can't make all the sessions?
Each session builds on the previous one. These are live sessions that combine real-time group activities with discussions led by your instructor, so there is no way to make up a missed session. We strongly recommend you reserve time on your calendar for all six sessions. If something comes up and you can't make a session, you can still participate in the remaining sessions.
What's required of me in between sessions?
Each week, during our live sessions, we apply a new lesson to a case study. In between sessions, we strongly encourage you to apply what you are learning to your own work. You can spend as much or as little time as you have on this. We'll ask you each week about your progress, but if you have limited time, it won't impede your progress in the course.
The cohort I want is closed for enrollment. Is there a wait list?
Our cohorts sell out quickly. We rarely have cancellations, but when we do, we offer any open spots to students in the subsequent cohort in the order in which they purchased their ticket. So the best way to get on the waiting list is to purchase a ticket for the next available cohort.
How long do I have access to the instructional content?
You'll have access to all of the instructional content for 3 months starting from the course kick-off.
