Product Management
Functional analysis and project management that guide your digital project from idea to delivery. Clear requirements, strict follow-up, and smooth coordination between business and development.
Product Management: from idea to implementation
Functional analysis and project management form the core of our product management services. Our experts translate your digital ambitions into clear requirements, challenge the scope, and structure the work into realistic work packages. They ensure coordination between business and development, keep a close eye on progress and budget, and guide implementation from idea to delivery.
What does this service entail?
Our Product Management service helps digital projects move forward in a structured way. We combine functional analysis and project follow-up with a strong understanding of technical implications. We coordinate between business and development and ensure that new functionality fits seamlessly within the existing architecture and long-term vision.
Our specialists guide ideation sessions, translate expectations and wishes into clear requirements, epics, and sprints, and monitor scope, budget, and progress. They ensure fast feedback loops and a smooth translation of strategic ambitions into executable tasks.
In short: clarity, speed, and control over your digital projects without unnecessary complexity.
Who is this service intended for?
Our approach can be applied in various contexts:
- Teams that are stuck in scope, planning, or communication between business and tech.
- Companies that develop digital products or platforms and need (temporary or structural) support.
- Organizations that are following a CTO process and need functional reinforcement.
- SMEs or scale-ups that cannot or do not want to hire full-time employees but are looking for temporary reinforcement.
What are the benefits for the customer?
- More efficient use of development time: clear requirements, short feedback loops, and efficient sprint operation.
- More control over the project process: scope, budget, and timing are closely monitored.
- Better collaboration between teams: less frustration and miscommunication between business and tech, resulting in higher customer engagement.
- Get more out of your existing technology: targeted optimizations increase the value of platforms and tools.
- Faster and more reliable execution: faster time-to-market and fewer surprises during or after execution.
Our approach
Depending on the challenge, we are flexible. This can be done:
- through project-based collaboration with clear deliverables and timings;
- as a standalone profile in staffing mode;
- within a broader process such as a CTO audit, platform development, or strategy formation.
Our approach is pragmatic and tailored to your reality. We start with a sharp analysis, structure work packages, and ensure clear communication between all stakeholders.
Why choose Unikoo?
We never work in a vacuum. Our experts are part of a broader ecosystem within Unikoo, with short lines of communication to CTOs, UX specialists, marketers, solution architects, and developers. This allows us to switch gears quickly, call in expertise where necessary, and provide thorough support without unnecessary overhead.
Thanks to their versatility, they switch effortlessly between strategy, operations, and communication.
What exactly do we examine?
For product and SaaS companies, we often dive deep into technical risks, team structure and roadmap alignment. For more traditional SMEs, the focus is usually on gaining control over digitalisation, challenging vendors and setting direction. In both cases, this structure helps us quickly get to the core.
The result of the Unikoo Tech-scan is a detailed report in which observations, associated concerns and recommendations are defined across various dimensions. These dimensions provide a structured framework to pragmatically form a complete picture of the organization's digital maturity. They are structured as follows:
Technology
What does the current landscape of applications, data, and infrastructure look like? What tech stacks are being used, and in what manner? To what extent are they scalable and how is quality maintained? What integrations and external dependencies exist? How about security and, where relevant, compliance?
Culture & people
We explore the structure and dynamics among the involved teams and assess the extent to which shared core values are present - and how they are conveyed. Is there a clear division of roles, and are responsibilities sharply defined? What management and communication styles are employed, and are they effective?
Processes & documentation
These teams operate according to explicitly or implicitly defined processes. Which processes impact the determination and execution of the tech vision, and how well are they documented and communicated? How accessible, qualitative, and up-to-date is this (and product) documentation?
Vision & roadmap
To what extent is the tech vision clearly defined and communicated? To what extent are the preceding dimensions aligned to support the business strategy? Do they enable the transformation of organically grown technology landscapes into more mature and sustainable ones?
Our project approach
Creating custom software requires good cooperation and communication. Thanks to the Unikoo agile project workflow, we ensure top results together!
