Ever wonder what good looks like? At Product Management Practice, we help shape what good product management looks like when building products within Govtech with the help of a suite of products - Product Scorecard, Craft and Elevate. Product Scorecard: Scorecard is designed to be the official GovTech management dashboard which provides visibility to the executive team on overall performance of all programs, and program directors on the performance of products within their own programs. Craft: Whether you're a new PM building foundational skills, an aspiring PM exploring the field, or an experienced PM looking to sharpen specific capabilities, Craft provides structured learning that respects your time while building your product craft. Elevate: Elevate is the platform used by officers during GovTech's PM/PO apprenticeship - an 18-month programme where apprentices build competencies under mentors. It is used to track all the data and progress the apprenticeship generates, structure the mentee's learning across milestones and assessments, and work from one shared record so both sides always see the same picture. As an engineer for PMP, you'll scale products across GovTech: building features iteratively from user feedback, integration of data sources and systems, sharpening product logic.
