Product & Project ManagementShyamal Jasani
You have a team but no one steering the ship. Or you have a product idea but no process to get it built. Either way — I step in, bring structure, and make sure things actually move forward.
How I work on PM engagements:
I don't just track tasks. I own the delivery.
It starts with understanding where things stand — whether that's a product idea on a napkin or an existing team that's lost direction. I assess the current state, identify gaps, and put a structure in place.
If we're starting fresh, I run discovery and scoping first (that's my BA side). Once we know what we're building, I break it down into sprints — typically 1–2 week cycles. Each sprint has clear goals, assigned tasks, and acceptance criteria so everyone knows what "done" looks like.
Day to day, I run standups with the team, track progress, flag blockers before they become problems, and keep the backlog groomed so the next sprint is always ready. You get regular updates — daily summaries or weekly reports, depending on your preference — in plain language, not JIRA screenshots.
I sit between you and the team. You tell me what you want. I translate that into tasks, manage the execution, and come back to you with results. If scope needs to change, I flag it with impact analysis — not surprises.
When it's time for UAT, I coordinate testing with you directly. When it's time for launch, I manage the deployment. When it's post-launch, I handle feedback triage and iteration planning.
What you get:
Sprint planning and backlog management
Daily standups and team coordination
Blocker identification and resolution
Client-facing progress reports (daily or weekly)
Scope management and change control
UAT coordination
Launch management
Post-launch iteration and feedback triage
FAQs
Both. I can step in as PM for your existing team — designers, developers, whoever you already have — or I can bring my own team. Either way, the process is the same.
JIRA or ClickUp for sprint and backlog management. Slack for daily communication. Zoom for calls. Google Workspace for documents. I adapt to your existing tools if you have preferences.
Most freelance PMs manage timelines. I manage the entire delivery — requirements, design review, dev oversight, QA, client communication, and launch. My BA background means I don't just track tasks — I understand what's being built and why, which means I catch problems earlier.
Yes. Agile sprints are my default. But I adapt the process to what makes sense for the project — some products need strict Scrum, others work better with a lighter Kanban approach. Process serves the product, not the other way around.
It means when you say "can we also add this feature?" I don't just say yes. I tell you what it costs in time and effort, what it pushes back, and whether it should go in now or in the next phase. No surprises, no scope creep that silently kills your timeline.
Yes. For ongoing product development, a monthly retainer is the most practical setup. We agree on hours and availability, and I embed into your workflow as your dedicated PM and delivery lead.
