New Training Roadmap

But there’s more to come. We’ve recently recorded 12 new modules of content including training on Retrospectives, Pre-mortems, Root Cause Analysis, Writing Problem Statements and more! We’ll be packaging these into some brand new training programs over the next few months - including a course on how to build and MVP the right way based on a customer journey map or storyboard. product management for startups.

Innovation and Project Management Templates

You probably know, Kromatic has a lot of templates. So many, that even we get confused as to what is where.

Over the next few months we’ll be releasing updates to all our templates - most of which are available for free under creative commons licensing. These updates will include:

  • Improved design (they look pretty!)
  • Clearer categorization (easy to tell what’s what)
  • Examples of usage (so you can use it!)

We’ve already released our updated Pivot or Persevere Template but look for more each month.  

Innovation Accounting Alumni Webinar

Innovation Accounting Alumni WebinarWe’ll be hosting a special webinar on Innovation Accounting for our alumni to bring them the latest updates on our training and the Monte Carlo template. This includes:

  • New Pivot or Persevere Videos - new training on how to make effective PoP decisions
  • Import Functions - bring your financial or impact model directly into the template with a couple clicks.
  • Improved speed - Options to improve performance by disabling the hurricane chart.
  • More FAQ videos - To give you the answers you need.

This event is only open to alumni, but you can join our next Innovation Accounting Training on May 28th.

  • Startup Poker (Learn to make decisions in uncertainty by playing poker)
