Let's work together

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Fragmented and outdated user journey maps.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.
