Many hats, one objective.
-
Product launch months behind schedule
-
New hires are too slow to contribute
-
We over-committed on delivery targets this quarter
I identify the problem, design a solution and manage the team until they are shipping without me.
Testimonials
Head of Product + Design at Provable
We worked on: Building a 15 strong remote product team together
When Imaan arrived at Provable our product team was
under-staffed and progress on our explorer product had stalled
almost completely.
9 months later we have hired and onboarded 15 people across
product, design, dev and marketing. the product is live and 90%
of hires have been retained.
One day he’d help with product ideation, the next managing the
dev team, the next onboarding a copywriter.
We usually
hire for specific roles to solve specific problems, but finding
someone who I can trust to put out a variety of fires and give
me the opportunity to do real deep work is very hard to find.
Imaan is that person.
We worked on: User research, ways of working & quarterly planning
Imaan took over a product team from a sales-led B2B startup just after being acquired by one of the world's largest product-led orgs.
There was a lot to change:
-
The team felt lost and directionless
-
Project management was confusing and constantly in flux
-
Backlog prioritisation was determined by client complaints
Over an 8 month period Imaan collaborated with:
-
Agile coaches to improve ways of working and team morale
-
User researchers to provide user insights to prioritise from
-
Heads of Design, Engineering, Sales and Customer Success to re-build trust that had been broken due to low performance
In an enterprise environment where most people just look out for #1, having someone with a relentless focus on quality and execution was refreshing.
