-
Limited time and resources.
-
Different levels of buy-in within the organization.
-
Disagreements on product vision.
My Role
-
I worked closely with the CPO and key internal stakeholders, including Customer Success, Account Management, Sales, and C-level executives, to define the product vision and contributed to the creation of a Figma prototype in collaboration with a third-party design team.
-
I partnered with engineering managers and architects to develop a solution that enabled users to access the B2C travel marketplace as guest bookers without logging in.
-
I mapped out user journeys for multiple personas, including invited guests who needed to book a trip within a budget and to a preset destination, as well as travel managers who required tools to define travel budgets, restrict trip parameters, and monitor booking statuses.
-
I created detailed requirements documentation, including epics and user stories, and built a prioritized product backlog.
-
I facilitated estimation sessions to identify technical dependencies and explore ways to accelerate implementation. Based on these insights, I requested and secured additional Scrum teams to expedite MVP delivery. As a result, I collaborated with five teams on the solution.
-
By empowering teams, fostering a collaborative environment, and aligning team backlogs for maximum efficiency, we successfully delivered the MVP 40% faster than originally planned.
-
I created user manuals, provided training to the Account Management team in preparation for the go-live process, and offered ongoing support during the launch.
