Coursera and Scrum Alliance are Powering Product Leadership With Agile, AI, and Data
We are excited to announce the launch of Agile for the Modern Product Manager, Scrum Alliance's second Specialization on Coursera. This new on-demand microcredential learning experience is designed for today's product professionals who want to grow beyond roles, tools, and prescribed steps to build the adaptable, multi-skilled capabilities modern organizations need.
As organizations navigate rapid change driven by AI, automation, and increasing complexity, product leadership is evolving. Success now depends on more than strong delivery skills. It requires professionals who can think strategically, work across systems, use data with confidence, and enable teams to deliver meaningful outcomes.
This Specialization reflects what modern organizations need most right now," said Scrum Alliance Chief Product Officer Danielle deLuise. "Not just framework expertise, but professionals who can think systemically, leverage emerging technologies responsibly, and enable adaptability across teams and the organization."
A modern toolkit for modern product work
Agile for the Modern Product Manager brings together agility, AI, and data-driven decision-making into one practical learning series. The Coursera Specialization equips learners to operate across product discovery, delivery, and continuous improvement, while helping teams navigate uncertainty and seize new opportunities.
“Product leadership today demands more than execution. It requires strategic thinking, adaptability, and the ability to work confidently with AI and data,” said Marni Baker Stein, Chief Content Officer at Coursera. “With this new Specialization, Scrum Alliance is expanding their Coursera portfolio in a practical, accessible way, helping product professionals grow their impact and lead effectively in today's organizations.”
This program is ideal for product managers, product leaders, scrum product owners, project managers, business analysts, and anyone interested in expanding their agile capabilities and influence within their organization.
All courses are fully on-demand and self-paced, making it easy for busy professionals to learn when and how it works best for them. Learners earn a Course Certificate for each course they complete, plus an additional certificate for completing the full Specialization.
Five courses, one cohesive learning journey
The Specialization includes five focused courses that build real-world, applicable skills.
Get Started with Prompt Engineering Learners discover how to write effective prompts that unlock the full potential of generative AI tools. The course shows how prompt engineering can streamline workflows, automate repetitive tasks, generate creative ideas, and extract insights that support continuous improvement.
Agile Essentials This course provides a strong foundation in agile values, principles, and practices. Learners explore collaborative, iterative ways of working that emphasize adaptability, learning, and customer value.
AI for Product Discovery and Strategy Learners use AI to better understand customers, analyze markets, and shape product strategy. The course demonstrates how generative AI can transform large volumes of data into insights that support objective prioritization and a clear product vision.
AI for Product Owners This course explores how AI can support product owners in areas like analysis, forecasting, and drafting user stories, while reinforcing ethical use and the importance of human judgment, accountability, and leadership.
Metrics that Matter: Improving Product Outcomes Learners focus on selecting and using meaningful metrics to support agile ways of working. Through expert insights, practical exercises, and knowledge checks, the course connects data to better product and organizational outcomes.
Building organizational enablers, not just specialists
The launch of Agile for the Modern Product Manager builds on Scrum Alliance's growing presence on Coursera, following last year's introduction of the Agile Coaching Essentials Specialization. Together, these programs support the vision outlined by Scrum Alliance CEO Tristan Boutros in the Scrum Alliance Annual Report, emphasizing the Era of Organizational Enablement: As disruption accelerates, organizations need professionals with breadth, systems thinking, and adaptive leadership. They need people who can enable teams, strengthen resilience, and help organizations thrive through change. These product management courses support the product leaders that organizations need today.
Featuring Scrum Alliance courses on the Coursera platform also supports our vision of Agile for Anyone™. Coursera, which has over 191 million learners, helps us reach more people, in more places, with learning experiences that foster collaboration, adaptability, and better outcomes regardless of job role or industry.
We are thrilled to continue expanding our learning portfolio and creating new ways for professionals to build the skills that matter most in today's world of work.
