Product Roadmap Sprint

Prefect for: Product teams with too many ideas and not enough clarity on where to start
Price:
$12-18K

Too many ideas. Not enough focus. We help you decide what to build first—and why. In two focused weeks, we map a phased product roadmap tied directly to business goals, technical realities, and stakeholder priorities. No wireframes. No design. Just strategic clarity your team can execute.

How It Works

Kickoff & Goals
Align on outcomes, metrics, and constraints. Collect existing docs and signals.
Step 1
Discovery Burndown

Rank opportunities against business impact, effort, risk, and strategic fit.
Step 3
MVP Definition Workshop
Establish minimum lovable scope with acceptance criteria and success metrics.
Step 4
Release Sequencing
Phase the roadmap around dependencies, learning loops, and risk burn-down.
Step 5
Budget & Timeline Guardrails
Produce ranges and staffing assumptions to inform planning.
Step 6
Playback & Sign-Off

Pricing And Tiers

1
Core — $12K

One product/module; MVP scope, single-track roadmap, prioritized backlog, budget/timeline ranges.

2

3
Full — $18K

Multi-stream roadmap with scenario options, phase gates, and an executive-ready board deck.

Pricing is customized based on project scope, team composition, and timeline.
We’ll validate the right tier at kickoff so you only pay for the depth you need.

What we need from you

  • A product owner (decision-maker)
  • Access to existing research, analytics, and backlog (if any)
  • 4–6 stakeholders for short interviews
  • An engineering lead for feasibility checks

Outcomes you can expect

  • A realistic, no-fluff roadmap your team believes in
  • Clear MVP scope to start delivering value in weeks, not months
  • Sequenced releases that burn down risk and maximize learning
  • Budget and time ranges aligned to reality, not wishful thinking
  • Stakeholder alignment that survives the next meeting

Who this is for

  • Product leaders drowning in ideas and requests
  • Teams needing a plan that ties directly to business goals
  • Orgs that keep starting and stopping without shipping

Who is this not for?

  • Teams seeking UI/UX design deliverables (see Design Sprints)
  • Greenfield ideas with no decision-maker available

FAQs

Who is this for and when should I use it?

For teams exploring AI but unsure if their data or infrastructure is ready. Ideal before starting any AI initiative, model development, or major data investment.

What are the expected outcomes?

A clear readiness scorecard, gap analysis, and roadmap that highlights what’s required to operationalize AI — from data quality and structure to governance and integration needs.

What inputs do we need from your team?

Access to sample datasets, system architecture documentation, and key stakeholders (product, IT, and business). A short discovery session helps align on current goals and maturity.

How is this service priced? and what’s excluded?

Priced between $10K–$20K, depending on data complexity and system access. Excludes hands-on remediation or AI model development (those can be scoped afterward).

How do we measure success?

You leave with a defined AI maturity score, prioritized recommendations, and clarity on what to tackle first to confidently move forward with AI initiatives.

What happens after this engagement (handoff/next step)?

Clients often move into our Technical Roadmap Strategy or Fractional Strategy Leadership to guide implementation or modernization plans.

How do you work with my in-house team?

We collaborate directly with your technical and business leads — no heavy lift required. We translate technical findings into clear business action.

What risks or blockers typically derail this — and how we mitigate them?

Incomplete or siloed data access can slow analysis. We mitigate this through structured intake, anonymized samples, and early identification of data owners.
