Product Owners

Time To Plan

If you build it, they won't just come
but when they come, make sure they stay

When a company is young, the founder(s) is the de-facto product owner, regardless of their background. But eventually, that's just not enough. But a full time product owner may still be overkill and too expensive.

That's where we step in with super experienced product owners, aligned with your industry, who can come in and help you get on track. Not just a checkbox on your org chart but real value and efficiency added to everything you're working on.

Get a handle on your product, your roadmap, your customers, and your market. Explore partnerships, integrations, and new features.

With the FastCPO approach, you can access just as much of a senior, experienced Product Owner as you need, without any retainers or minimums.

What Exactly Is
A Product Owner?

Vision and Strategy

The CPO is responsible for setting the vision and strategy for the product. They define what the product should be, who it's for, and how it will provide value. This vision guides the work of the development team and ensures that the product aligns with the company's overall goals.

Roadmap and Prioritization

In a startup, resources are limited. The CPO is responsible for prioritizing features and tasks based on their potential impact on the business. This helps to ensure that the team is always working on the most valuable tasks.

Customer Advocate

The CPO often serves as the voice of the customer within the startup. They work to understand the needs and desires of the customer and ensure that these are reflected in the product. This helps balance the roadmap between what the team wants to build and what the customer actually needs.

Communication

The CPO is often the bridge between the development team and the rest of the company. They ensure that the team has the information they need to build the product and that the rest of the company understands what the product is and how it works. In an early stage startup, the CPO also assumes the role of a project manager so you don't need to hire one.

Agile Practices

Whether your team runs on Kanban or Scrum or, as most often the case, somewhere in between, the CPO plays a key role in managing the product backlog, defining user stories, and accepting completed work. This helps to ensure that the development process is efficient and effective.
