Interim Product Owner

We help your Scrum team maximise the value of your product. We focus on transparent, clear and concise communication – and a prioritised backlog.

Maximise value through Agile product discovery

In your organisation, how do Product Owners maximise the value of your product? How do they communicate? How do they manage the backlog We can help you by setting the right example: we take on the role of interim Product Owner for as long as you require it.

Understand the principles

Mind that we are not the Scrum police. For us, it’s not about mindlessly following the framework. It’s about understanding its principles. Our Product Owners have an Agile mindset and a thorough understanding of product discovery. This is what guides them in maximising product value.

Characteristics

User research is incidental and ad hoc.
Fragmented and outdated user journey maps.

Insights are not findable or accessible for every team.

No set of fixed methods.

Initiating fixed working methods.

Systematic.

The user journey becomes the starting point for the workflow.

Central storage of insights. Rights and access are managed.

Continuous user research, testing and implementation of improvements.

The same, interchangeable methods for collecting user data throughout the organization.

It is clear who can (and must) make the decisions.

Every product team - in all relevant chapters and departments - has the same way of working.

What we do

We start with a short audit.

We help you realize your first successes.

We give you the tools to work based on user data. We collect input from your target group.

Depending on where you are, Hike One can take responsibility while we take care of the implementation together.

We help with creating structure, defining roles and selecting the right tools.

We help to coach your (new) experts in-house.

We ensure that you can deliver consistently high quality with less effort.

Together we continuously map and manage the user journey, with responsibility increasingly shifting to your own team members.

We help you get the entire organization working based on user journeys.

We spread the gospel across all silos and we help coach the coaches.

If necessary, we help develop the business case and present it at C-level.

Hike One not only played an essential role in designing a great new experience of our multiscreen products, but also in ensuring a consistent and coherent implementation of this new experience across our various platforms.
