About this service

Summary

I combine a structured approach for evaluating product features with a strategy for effectively launching them into the market. As a product manager with experience in diverse projects for organizations like USAID and WHO, and ongoing collaboration with government agencies, I possess the strategic insight and stakeholder management skills necessary to develop a prioritization framework that aligns with overarching goals. Furthermore, my track record of building impactful solutions, such as a national database for diabetic patients, demonstrates my ability to execute go-to-market plans that drive adoption and deliver measurable impact for up-to 5M+ users

Process

My process is outlined below

1. Define Objectives and Key Metrics

1.1. Start by clearly defining the objectives of your product or feature and identifying key performance metrics to measure success.

1.2. Understand the market landscape, customer needs, and competitive positioning to inform your prioritization framework and go-to-market strategy.

2. Stakeholder Alignment

2.1. Engage with key stakeholders, including executives, product team members, marketing, sales, and customer support, to gain alignment on priorities and goals.

2.2. Ensure everyone understands the value proposition and target audience for the product or feature.

3. Prioritization Framework Development

3.1. Develop a prioritization framework that aligns with your product strategy and objectives.

3.2. Define criteria for evaluating potential features and initiatives, such as impact on users, technical feasibility, business value, and strategic alignment.

3.3. Conduct workshops or collaborative sessions with cross-functional teams to gather input and refine the prioritization criteria.

4. Feature Prioritization

4.3. Prioritize features based on their potential impact, feasibility, and alignment with strategic goals.

5. Go-To-Market Planning

6. Execution and Iteration

6.2. Monitor key performance metrics to evaluate the effectiveness of the launch and iterate on the strategy as needed.

6.3. Gather feedback from customers, sales teams, and other stakeholders to inform future iterations of the prioritization framework and go-to-market plan.

7. Post-Launch Analysis:

7.1. Conduct a post-launch analysis to evaluate the success of the product or feature launch.

What's included

Prioritization Framework with Go-To Market Plan
The "Prioritization Framework with Go-To-Market Plan" is a comprehensive deliverable that combines two essential aspects of product management into a cohesive strategy. 1. The prioritization framework outlines a structured approach for evaluating and ranking potential features, enhancements, and initiatives based on their impact, feasibility, and alignment with strategic objectives. It provides a systematic method for product managers to make informed decisions about where to allocate resources and focus efforts to maximize value delivery. 2. In parallel, the go-to-market plan details the strategy and tactics for launching a product or feature successfully into the market. It encompasses elements such as positioning, messaging, target audience identification, channel selection, pricing, promotional activities, and timeline. The go-to-market plan ensures that the product is introduced to the market effectively, generating awareness, interest, and adoption among the intended audience. Combining these two components creates a holistic approach to product management, aligning product development efforts with market needs and business goals. It enables product managers to prioritize initiatives that will have the greatest impact on achieving desired outcomes while providing a clear roadmap for bringing products to market efficiently and effectively.
