INTENSIVE

Roles & Process Intensive

Examine roles, responsibilities, and key deliverables in each step of product planning.

Process is Chaos

Many teams lack a coherent process from idea to market.

Process in broken. Titles are a mess! Responsibilities are unclear within product management and how they connect to development, marketing, sales, and other teams. Lack of clarity of team members' roles results in finger-pointing and confusion on who does what. Things get missed or duplicated. Time is wasted on blaming other departments. Our products get released through individual heroics.

Sound familiar?

Leadership has little confidence in the product team's ability to lead.

There's a lack of transparency and visibility into the product management process.

Our product managers are often pulled in different directions, leading to a lack of focus.

Every team seems to have a different way of doing things. There’s no consistency from product to product. The leadership is confused by what they’re given. The product teams seem unprofessional.

There's confusion about who is responsible for what in our product process.

Feedback from customers and stakeholders isn't being systematically collected and acted upon.

Examine roles, responsibilities, and key deliverables in each step of product planning.

Create Your Own Best Practices

There really are no best practices. Instead, there are common practices.

Many frameworks claim, “Just follow this method, and you will succeed.” But one practice doesn’t fit all organizations.


You are unique. No other organization is like yours. No one else has your products and people, markets and methods.


What’s needed is to adapt practices and concepts to the unique requirements of your organization. Let us help you create your own best practices.
