Phase 1: Product Team Assessment

I evaluate your current setup against product team best practices:

Team structure vs your growth stage requirements
Role clarity and decision-making processes
Product operating model and team capabilities
Gaps between current state and where you need to be

Phase 3: Implementation Support

Option A: Advisory Implementation

Guide you through building the product team
Coach existing team members through transition
Support hiring and onboarding of new product roles

Option B: Interim + Build (when situation is dire)

Step in as interim product leader while building your team
Establish product team operating model
Recruit and train permanent product team members
