agile product management
We believe that a key difference between successful and unsuccessful software products is how agile their product managers are. The impact of agile, insightful, experienced product managers on the software process is substantial. Great product managers are highly coveted internally and externally.
Enthiosys is dedicated to helping its clients create and maintain highly successful software products. But we are also dedicated to raising the game of the individual product managers we work with. There are three ways we help product managers become more agile, expert and central to the process:
- Coaching: One-on-one sessions/armchair advice for product managers who want to master agile product management techniques. Having a seasoned mentor is one of the best ways for a product manager to understand organizational and process complexities.
- Interim Executives: If you are creating or significantly reshaping a product organization, you may need an experienced, full-time product executive on-site. Our team has taken on interim VP Product Management and VP Marketing roles for large and small companies, usually for two to three quarters. Let us apply our experience directly – creating processes, hiring PM teams, aligning organizations, capturing market needs and building roadmaps – while helping you recruit permanent product executives.
- Training: Classroom sessions give product champions a focused opportunity to learn, interact with peers, and break away briefly from their daily challenges. Enthiosys training can be arranged for teams within one client company, or draw from a regional pool of interested students.

Interim Product Executives
Some organizations need more than mentoring. Enthiosys can provide full-time executives to clients, delivering the entirely of our experience. For new or significantly reshaped organizations, this lets us directly implement:
- product and organizational processes
- staffing, role definition, and product-related recruitment
- customer segmentation and marketplace review
- market-driven roadmaps
- pricing, licensing and business model analysis
- organizational stabilization to support recruitment of permanent executives
Interim executive roles typically last two to three quarters.
Agile Product Management Training
We provide private classes and tailor them to your needs. Our classes are guided by our “learning by doing” philosophy. In designing every class, we clarify what your staff members:
- Will know and be able to do after taking the class
- Must do to reinforce what they’ve learned and get better at doing it
- Will have after the class to further master what they’ve learned
