A “Fractional” Product Manager or Product Leader is a part-time professional who provides product management expertise and services to organizations on an on-demand or project basis. They offer businesses a flexible and cost-effective way of shaping their product strategies and drive successful outcomes without the need for a full-time commitment.
Typical situations when fractional support makes sense are when it is too early to bring in a full-time Product Manager (pre-seed, early-stage), the existing internal resources need to be temporarily supplemented or complemented, or the organization could benefit from an external perspective in a time of change.
A discovery call is a free and no-obligations consultation call that typically lasts up to one hour. During the call, we’ll discuss your business goals and challenges, and you'll have the opportunity to ask me any questions you have about my experience, my approach, or the services I offer. The call is an opportunity for both of us to determine if we're a good fit for each other and if my services can help you achieve your goals.
At the end of the call, we can discuss next steps. Usually, you’ll receive a summary of the call from me via email that also proposes possible approaches to address the pain points raised during the conversation. Based on that you can take your time to consider if you're interested in working together and get back to me when you're ready. Of course, I’ll be happy to answer any follow-up questions in regard to the summary.
Long story short, the discovery call is a low-pressure way for us to get to know each other and determine if working together is a good fit. Go ahead and book your call now!
Travel time is lost time that costs both of us. Most of my contributions can and should happen remotely or even asynchronously. Of course, there are certain activities and special situations that might require me to be on-site.
I always try to provide my services as efficiently and purposefully as possible, also because I regularly work for up to three clients at the same time. Therefore, I reserve and communicate the time allocated on a weekly basis and depending on the necessities of the current task, which usually does not exceed three full days per week.
Generally, the answer is no. But I offer a 30% discount on my rates for organizations that are making a positive impact in the world and align with my personal values. Book a call and let’s find out!
