Rapid Product Exploratory
We conduct a fixed-price, timeboxed product review and analysis using our custom methodology. The output is a set of recommendations to address product challenges and a high-level execution plan. (See our product transformation white paper for more detail on our approach.)
This engagement usually takes about two weeks and includes:
- Context Exploration: Review product context, including strategy, roadmap, market dynamics, and financials
- Interaction Discussion: Structure and moderate a deep dive session with product leaders and key business partners
- Drill-down Interviews: Conduct a small number of detailed follow-up interviews that focus on product challenges
- Analysis and Synthesis: Analyze findings, synthesize recommendations, and develop execution plan
- Recommendations and Action Planning: Review recommendations and execution plan with client
