Fractional Product Lead
A senior product leader for your team — without the full-time hire.
I join your team part-time to set direction, sharpen the backlog, and keep design, engineering and stakeholders moving toward the same goal.
Who it’s for
You need product leadership, but not a full-time hire.
- Startups that need a product leader but aren’t ready for a full-time head of product
- Teams between product hires that can’t let the roadmap stall
- Companies whose product owners or managers need hands-on coaching
- Organizations adopting Agile or SAFe that want someone who has run it
What you get
Clear direction, a healthy backlog, a confident team.
- Product vision and roadmap tied to your business goals
- A prioritized, refined backlog
- User stories with clear acceptance criteria
- KPIs and success metrics for each initiative
- Stakeholder alignment and regular progress updates
- Coaching for your product owners and managers
- Support for sprint planning, refinement and demos
