About this service

Summary

I have 17 years of experience in product management working with start-ups to Fortune 500 companies with 10 years of management experience. I have deep expertise from 0-1 product development across UX research, Product, and Go-To-Market, and Digital Marketing.

Process

Evaluation: I work with the team to understand the current product standards and processes they are working with. I will ask questions about the team size, technical capabilities, and SDLC execution into consideration. I get to know the product team and the cross-functional stakeholders.

Discussion: I follow up with the team members to discuss the learned pain points that exists amongst the team of stakeholders including product, engineering, QA, design, and data science to bring forth a deeper understanding of where improvements in the process can be made.

Suggested Plan: Based on the evaluation and internal discussions, I will suggest a plan of execution for the core team involved. This could focus on improving the SDLC process in partnership with engineering, an improved solution for analytics for performance or success metrics, an iterative product roadmap, or coaching and product mentorship.

Execution: I work with the team members or team leads to walk through the plan of action and their involvement in their respective roles. I document the steps in the process while evangelizing and executing the plan.
