Step inside Polaris Academy — a free product management simulation where you practice real PM skills, mission by mission, decision by decision. Real crises. Real trade-offs. Real consequences.
A company, a broken metric, a deadline. GUTKU hands you the mission — the rest is on you.
Read live dashboards, question the team, interview customers. Every insight you log becomes ammunition.
Diagnose the root cause, choose a fix, pick the metric that proves it — then watch the city react.
Yes. All missions are free to play. Create an account (email or Google) so your XP, grades and progress follow you across devices.
Courses teach product management by lecture; Live as PM is a simulation — you practice it. You walk into a company in crisis, read the dashboards, interview users, name the root cause and ship a fix. Your judgment gets graded, not your attendance.
Metrics diagnosis and root-cause analysis, customer interviewing, hypothesis testing, prioritization and roadmap trade-offs, positioning and launch strategy, and growth loops — one district of Polaris Academy per skill.
Aspiring product managers, career switchers preparing for PM and APM interviews, and early-career PMs who want to sharpen judgment on realistic scenarios before making the mistakes at work.
No. Mission 01 assumes nothing — GUTKU, your mentor, coaches every decision. Missions unlock in sequence and build on each other.
Wavely lost 17 points of retention in three weeks. Somewhere in the data is the reason. Go find it.
Find the root cause of Wavely's retention collapse and ship a fix — before Friday's board meeting. Log at least 3 pieces of evidence before you accuse anything.
Something in here explains the cliff. Inspect the tiles that look suspicious — each one you read is logged to your evidence file.
Dashboards tell you what happened. People tell you why. Talk to all three before moving on — and mind what you say to the CEO.
You've got 3 questions with Ria — she installed Wavely last week and hasn't opened it since. Choose carefully: open, behavioral questions get truth. Leading questions get politeness.
The board meeting is tomorrow. Review your evidence file, then commit to a diagnosis. A wrong call here costs credibility — and XP.
You've named the disease. Now prescribe the treatment — and choose the one metric that will prove you right or wrong.
Your XP, grades and mission record are tied to your identity — they follow you across devices.
