Learners are participants of the Product Management Diverse Tech Talent Program. They have recently completed hands-on, intensive training in problem discovery and product thinking. They're skilled, adaptable, and motivated to continue learning, enriching your project and, kickstarting their product management careers.
In this project, a team of participants will help your company understand and solve a product problem over a four week period. They will apply their skills to your business challenge as the capstone project in their DTTP certificate program.
- Submit a project here for the DTTP team to review.
- Once approved, you will be matched with a team of 5 participants.
- Product Management projects will start on November 20th 2023.
If you have questions or need help drafting your project content please email us at dttp@riipen.com.
You can also find all of our help articles here.
- Projects should be approximately 40 hours in length per participant and are to be completed over a 4 week period.
- Each project should require the contributions of 5 participants (200 hours in total).
- Check out this guide on best practices for working with DTTP participants.
- Given the short and remote nature of DTTP, we require a project-based experience. If your project looks like a job posting, we cannot accept it. Please provide a concrete scope for the participant’s work and limit their work to a specific project.
- We have pinned an example project template to this experience which you can use as a starting point.
- If you choose to use a template from our library, ensure that you have added as much context for your business needs as possible. Our team will not accept any projects that were created from a template without sufficient customization.

Project Examples
Participants gained practical, hands-on experience in core end-to-end Product Development skills.
They come equipped to:
- Perform user & market research
- Design & conduct user customer interviews
- Analyze qualitative customer data and draw up insights
- Document customer needs
- Present key findings and suggest recommendations
Deliverables will vary depending on the project scope. At the conclusion of the project you will have assets that can be used to further your business goals.
Note: If participants are completing confidential work they can still submit work on the platform by uploading redacted samples, using the worklog feature, and writing a brief project reflection. In this case, we might also recommend that you have the participants sign an NDA before starting your project. You can use the Agreements feature to do this.
Companies must answer the following questions to submit a match request to this experience:
I confirm that I have read and understand the Terms and Conditions of this program.
I understand that I must provide ongoing mentorship and guidance to the participant team that is working on my project. I must be responsive to any questions, and check in on progress to help ensure a good result.
I will evaluate the participants' final project submissions within 5 business days, offering feedback that can be utilized by the participants to strengthen their resumes and LinkedIn profiles.
