This is a course for PMs who want to utilize data. It covers the entire process of using data in a PM role, capturing the full workflow from your first day at a new job to the beginning and end of a project. It is an introductory data course designed to build your thinking power, covering everything from data-driven and logical thinking to metric definition, log design, experiment design, and building a data culture.
Although it was created for PMs, the content is also highly beneficial for data analysts (in fact, many analysts have already taken this course).
Additionally, many professionals in marketing, design, and business planning roles are also taking the course.
Hello. I'm a data analyst working at a company that operates a service with about 300,000 app MAU and 1.5 million web MAU. I initially joined as a growth marketer, but as I worked, I naturally transitioned into data analysis because the app log design wasn't properly set up for the service's scale, and there was no one in any data-related roles.
After listening to all of Kyle's lectures, I deeply regret not having taken them sooner. If I had listened to these lectures in advance, I believe I could have significantly reduced trial and error in various aspects such as collaboration methods, work processes, communication styles, and work skills.
In particular, the way you framed all the tasks that need to be done has helped me organize my thoughts very well. After completing the lectures, even just gathering and organizing the frameworks from the lecture materials will allow me to establish a work process that is 10 times more efficient than it is now.
I was surprised to find the exact lectures I was looking for, and while listening, I kept wondering, 'How could someone create such lectures?' I learned a lot, and I think the way I approach my work will change significantly. I will continue to grow by applying and executing what I've learned. Thank you!

I have only listened to half of it, but I am leaving a review in advance because it is such an impressive lecture. I am a student working as a UXUI designer at a large company. After moving from an agency to an in-house position, there were many parts that I did not understand the reasons for decision-making or the contents of meetings, so I decided to take the course to learn the language of PM and practice looking at problems from a business perspective. In fact, I started studying thinking that the content would be difficult because it was an unfamiliar field, but thanks to the language that was easy for the other person to understand, my understanding of data has greatly improved to the point where I can apply it right away in my work. After listening to the lecture, my perspective on existing work documents completely changed. In addition, I was very impressed by the part where he answered the questions of the students and briefly mentioned persuasion and negotiation. I felt that I wanted to learn a lot about his personality as well as his job competency because I could feel his attitude towards work and colleagues. I will definitely read Nonviolent Communication and People Outside the Box. After taking this lecture, I want to take other lectures! Thank you! (I think this is something that not only PMs but also designers would benefit from knowing, so I think it would be good to write down something that designers would also benefit from hearing when marketing! I would like to share it with everyone in the neighborhood!)

The lecture content was very helpful to me, so I am leaving a detailed review in case it will be of some help to those who are considering taking the course :)
[Background for taking the course]
- I work at a digital marketing agency to help accurately measure and improve advertising performance by better utilizing Ad Tech and data.
- However, since the team was newly formed and we were working without a mentor, the process for solving problems based on data was not well established, so I took the course to stabilize the team's work system.
[How I took the course]
- I thought it would be virtually impossible to complete the course with just my own will, so I gathered study members on Discord...! (There were more people like me than I thought, lol)
- I recruited people with similar goals and wills and opened a study group, and operated it for the purposes of 1) completing the course, and 2) sharing each other's experiences.
- There were often cases where the content I needed right away was covered in the course while I was working, so I put the course up and used it as a handbook while working. - I organized the newly learned information or the information I wanted to share with my team members into a document in Jira Confluence and shared it, and spread the knowledge within the team.
[What improved after listening to the lecture]
- Other existing data-related lectures seemed to deal with technical aspects, but rather than these technical aspects, I was able to build the soft skills that are most needed in the field.
- Communication became clearer as I gave names to frameworks and methodologies that I had been practicing without even knowing the names.
- In particular, the problem definition framework and data log design part were the parts that were closest to my domain, so I received a lot of help in this area.
- As I learned about various methodologies that I had not known before, I was able to approach and solve problems in new ways.
[Who would you recommend it to]
- I think it would be more helpful to current employees than job seekers (there are so many moments where you really agree and sympathize while watching the lecture...)
- I think it would also be of great help to marketers who communicate based on data (you can gain insight into how to utilize trackers such as GA or Appsflyer)
- I also recommend it to everyone who wants to solve problems based on data. Fighting to you all!

Frequently Asked Questions Q&A 💬
Q. What should I think about before taking this course?
Try defining the "problems" you are currently facing at work and think about what is needed to solve them. If data is among those needs, this lecture can be of help.
Q. Does this course also cover technical content such as Python and SQL?
No. This course covers the business processes of utilizing data. Rather than technical content like Python or SQL, you will learn about the problem-definition skills required for actual work and the overall workflow. A separate course on BigQuery (SQL) is planned for the future.
Q. I'm studying data for the first time; won't it be difficult?
This course was created under the assumption that it will be taken by someone studying data for the first time. Since the course is conducted from a data utilization perspective, no mathematical formulas appear in the lectures. I have included as many basic explanations as possible, so if there is anything difficult, please feel free to ask questions at any time!

Prerequisite Knowledge and Precautions
I have added as much explanation as possible so that even those new to data can follow along, so there is no required prior knowledge. However, it is even better if you have a clear problem you wish to solve at your company.
I will provide answers to your lecture questions whenever I check them, and I plan to update the content by running a monthly consultation center (after obtaining permission from those who share their concerns). Additionally, if there are common topics you are curious about, I will refer to them to provide further help. Asking many questions is highly encouraged! It's also great if you join Discord to ask your questions.
If you wish to summarize what you've learned on your blog, please make sure to include links to my webpage and the lecture. :) However, posting the majority of the lecture content may lead to copyright issues. I recommend writing your posts by focusing on the key takeaways you want to remember, along with your own thoughts.
Reviews and recommendations from those who watched the lecture first 💫
Song Bbosong (Product Manager, Woowa Brothers)
I believe this lecture will be a ray of light for PMs who have just started making data-driven decisions. Through cases that any PM would encounter while working, I gained confidence in how to apply the lecture content to my actual work. For PMs who need to adapt to a new environment after changing jobs, those whose scope of work has expanded, or those who have just become PMs, this lecture will serve as a secret manual for becoming a top-tier professional by enhancing overall decision-making skills, including problem definition, performance measurement, and experimental design as a PM.
Seokjin Yoon (Product Owner, LINER)
"Data Literacy for PMs" provides experience-based know-how covering everything from the purpose of data utilization to its application for PMs. The content is dense enough to be reflected upon repeatedly, and it is a lecture that addresses the various concerns of PMs. PMs must establish product strategies, persuade others, and achieve success amidst constantly changing situations. I sincerely hope you grow into a PM who leads the growth rate of your organization through the "Data Literacy for PMs" course.
Dongmin Cho (Data Analyst, Nexon)
<"What is your Pain Point?"> AHA Moment. It's a term many have heard of. However, it is difficult to put into practice. This is because people often don't know what kind of foundation needs to be in place to find the AHA Moment, or who to talk to and how. I feel that the real Pain Point lies not in the concept itself, but in the "method" of executing that concept. And the strength of this lecture is that it provides practical answers to that "method."
Taeyong Hwang (Product Analyst, Rappolabs)
The greatest strength of this lecture is that it contains the experiences and reflections of Kyle, who has a track record of achieving results through collaboration with related departments (especially product organizations). I highly recommend this lecture to junior PMs or junior data analysts collaborating with product organizations, as it not only covers the areas I felt were necessary while working with product teams but also includes appropriate real-world cases.
Kyungho Park (AI Research Scientist, SOCAR)
At first glance, the phrase "working effectively in a data-driven organization" may seem simple, but working "well" requires a great deal of contemplation and trial and error. Beyond simple technical skills, it requires a process of understanding many things, including decision-making processes, setting organizational culture, and establishing and analyzing metrics. This course teaches all of the aforementioned elements to those preparing to join or move to a data-driven organization, as well as PMs/POs who want to work based on data. It is a course that includes everything I felt firsthand while working with Kyle, and content that can help reduce the trial and error I experienced when I was a junior. I highly recommend this as an essential course for work that can lead to business impact in a data-driven organization.

I am currently active as a Google Developer Expert (GDE) for Cloud.
I am currently working as a data analyst. As soon as I heard that Kyle's lecture was uploaded, I paid for it and quickly watched the interesting parts first. I think this lecture will be helpful not only for PMs but also for those in the data field. In particular, I think it would be good for those who are interested in the data literacy capacity and data culture of an organization.
Hello! :)
Thank you so much for looking at the interesting parts and leaving a review! This is my first Inflearn review, so I was excited to see it. I really felt that an organization's data literacy and data culture are not completed in a day, and I felt that I need to talk to many people and implement various strategies for change in the process.
From this perspective, I created it because I thought that if I shared the tacit knowledge that I know with many people, they would not have to go through my trial and error, so thank you so much for talking about it so well! Please let me know anytime if you need help :)

Hello Edgar :)
Thank you for such a sincere review! I think many people will be able to see if this review will help them.
You did a great job gathering study members in Discord and sticking to it. I think you thought hard about what to do and put it into practice, so I want to cheer you on..!
I wanted to help you do your work well right away, so I made the lecture focusing on that content. I made it for PMs with 2-3 years of experience, but it will also be helpful for those with 2-3 years of experience as marketers and data analysts (I think it might be less noticeable when I was a student, but I thought it might be okay to hear this kind of content as a student)
Thank you so much for leaving a good review! I will also work harder..!
These days, PM is a given, and I think the core competency of a data analyst is not simply the ability to use tools, but the ability to solve problems.
I think this lecture has a great influence on developing the ability to solve service problems based on data, such as 'problem selection', 'setting key indicators', 'what data should I look at?'.
I think it was really lucky to have found this lecture. Thank you!
Hello :)
Thank you so much for saying that it was a good luck to find the lecture..! I hope we can talk together and develop problem-solving skills! :) Thank you for the course review!
Thank you so much, Kyle School!! I listened to everything except the parts I left to listen to when I actually encountered it. It's a great lecture that I can always refer to when I run into a problem. Thank you for making it! I keep recommending it to people around me. I'm always grateful for the sincere advice..!! https://sowhatmylifeismine.tistory.com/263 This is a summary of the parts I used while listening to the lecture! It's not enough, but I hope it will be of some help to others!
Hello Squirrel!
Thank you for always asking me questions while taking the class! Thanks to you, I was able to get inspiration. If you read this class review, I think it would be good to read the blog too since you wrote a good blog review :)
If you need help in the future, please let me know anytime-!
I really liked the lecture because it focused on how to solve problems and make decisions with data, rather than on data analysis skills. I really liked how the lecture was structured so that you could think and act based on situations that could actually happen through actual case studies, rather than just talking about ways of thinking or mindsets. Maybe that’s why I tried it out with my team members right away and got help.
It was also really great that you could get 1:1 coaching from Kyle if you took more than 70% of the course. I hope that many people will learn data problem solving and decision-making processes through this lecture and become good workers at their companies.
Thank you so much for creating such a great lecture.
Hello!
I'm glad that I was able to encourage you to take action with your mindset, mindset, and case study! When I was making the lecture, I had the goal of "Let's make it so that those who listen to this lecture can actually take action!"
Thank you for mentioning the coaching that is currently being offered to the first 100 people as an event! I hope those who have the opportunity will definitely try it out :)
