For Product Teams
Move from AI experiments to a faster way of shipping.
I work on your real backlog, with your real customers as design partners, and coach every product manager until the new way of working holds.
Sound familiar?
See how the work runs-
Shipping, not moving
“We shipped everything on the roadmap. Nothing moved.”
InsteadI tie each item to a customer behavior you expect to change, then check it with real customers.
-
Built in private
“We have been building for three months and nobody outside the team has seen it.”
InsteadA prototype goes in front of your design partners early, before more capacity goes in.
-
Old habits, new tools
“Everyone has the AI tools. We work the same way we did last year.”
InsteadI rebuild how your team works around research and prototyping with those tools, on your real backlog.
-
Too many priorities
“We have twelve priorities and ship three.”
InsteadWhat your design partners do decides the order, so the backlog shrinks on evidence.
Who it is for
Leaders of product and innovation teams that are ready to change how they work. It tends to start with new leadership, a newly formed team or real pressure from the business. It is not for teams who want a classroom course on AI tools or a strategy deck.
How I work with your team
I work alongside your team and its product leaders on your real backlog, with your real customers as design partners, until the team can run the work without me. When the work needs a specialist, I bring one in.
- Frame the bet. Name the business objective and the decision the work has to earn.
- Map the work. Follow the real backlog and workflow to see where time and opinions pile up.
- Get evidence. Put the question to real customers before more capacity goes in.
- Prototype. Put a working version in front of design partners and learn from what they do.
- Price the outcome. Set the measure, the cost and the business case before the team commits.
- Decide and roadmap. End with a decision, and order the next item by evidence.
Every product manager gets direct time
Build
One-on-one sessions where each product manager builds prototypes and automations with AI development tools, and moves from writing requirements to testing ideas.
Upskill
Depth in the skill each person needs most, such as UX or data, taught against their own product problem, not a generic curriculum.
Review the backlog
I sit with each product manager and sort their real backlog into what is real, what is noise and what moves next.
What teams leave with
- An outcome-based roadmap tied to measurable business objectives.
- A repeatable way to run customer research and turn it into decisions.
- Prototypes that have been tested, and opportunities that are documented and validated.
Ways to work together
Decision Jam
A two-hour, in-person session for your leadership team. You leave with one agreed priority, owners and first steps.
Strategy Sprint
Two days in person. Day one aligns your leaders on the problem worth solving; day two runs a first validation loop on it.
Product Accelerator
Six weeks on your real backlog: five validation loops your team takes over as they go, ending in a build-ready spec.
“In a short time I gained more clarity, structure, and momentum than I’d built in months of working alone.”
Questions teams ask
Is this AI training?
No. It is a change in how the team works, built on your own backlog and customers. AI tools are part of the work, not the lesson.
Can we start with one team?
Yes. Many engagements begin with a single team and widen once the way of working holds.
What do you need from us?
A real backlog, access to real customers, and a team that is ready to commit time to working differently.
How is it priced?
It is scoped on a call, based on the team and the work.
Where do design partners come in?
They are how the work stays honest. See what a design partner is.
