I work with CEOs/CTOs at early-stage and growth startups to scale their company's Product Management practice. Because they don't have time for hands-on involvement in every aspect of product development, I help get the tools and processes in place that enable their team to own the product development. Day-to-Day Product Development - establish the tools, sprints, and process needed to manage the building and ship productMonthly Roadmap Maintenance - standardize how feature priorities are defined, scope the requirements to ship them, and measure their performanceQuarterly Strategy Planning - map out the company objective for the next quarter and define the priority projects that will help them reach itOnboarding the new PM - coach the person moving into the PM role, so they can own, manage and evolve the PM process moving forward

Based on this, we defined the product roadmap that guided the product development work.Working with all teams within the company, we then designed, prototyped, built and implemented solutions with the product and operations teams, and iterated upon them once they were in the hands of customers.
