1. Discovery: User Stories & Validation

My approach begins with deep customer empathy and market analysis. I utilize strong user-persona testing to validate problems and define clear, actionable user stories that align engineering effort with market need.

  • Action: Market sizing, competitive analysis, hypothesis testing, and writing acceptance criteria.
  • Core Tools: Figma/Miro, Pendo/Mixpanel, JIRA/Trello.
  • Goal: Achieve problem-solution fit before development starts.

2. Strategic Planning: Roadmapping for ROI

I translate defined requirements into a prioritized roadmap. This includes balancing technical debt, immediate business goals, and long-term strategic growth while communicating clear value to stakeholders and engineering.

  • Action: Story pointing, backlog grooming, risk assessment, and dependency mapping.
  • Core Tools: ProductPlan, Aha!, Confluence.
  • Goal: Ensure maximum return on investment (ROI) for development resources.

3. GTM & Feature Adoption

A great product launch is only the start. I oversee the Go-To-Market process, working closely with marketing and sales to craft messaging, manage feature flags, and monitor early adoption metrics to drive feature success.

  • Action: Beta program management, feature usage analysis, release communication, and post-launch A/B testing.
  • Core Tools: LaunchDarkly, Google Analytics, CRM Platforms.
  • Goal: Maximize feature adoption and drive measurable business impact.
