Technical Roadmap Strategy

Prefect for: Product and engineering leaders staring at a year’s worth of ideas and competing priorities who need a clear, resourced 12-month plan.
Price:
$15K–$25K (fixed project, 3–5 weeks)

Turn a year of ideas into a realistic 12-month technical plan you can execute. We partner with your leadership and engineering teams to inventory every initiative, prioritize what matters, and build a resourced roadmap that aligns to business goals, capacity, and budget. You leave with clarity on what to do first, what to defer, and how to staff it without surprises.
