BA & Product Owner Advisory

Who is this for
You're a Business Analyst or Product Owner in the middle of something difficult, and the people around you are too close to it to give you a straight answer.
Typical situations:
You've just joined a new company and need to ramp up fast
You're expected to lead requirements and aren't sure where to start
You're moving from Business Analysis into Product Ownership
You're dealing with unclear requirements or stakeholders who won't converge
You want a second opinion before an important delivery decision
What we work on
Bring the real thing — the actual PRD, the actual stakeholder map, the actual mess.
Sessions are working sessions, not lectures
Planning your first 30/60/90 days on a new project
Stakeholder mapping and communication strategy
Requirements elicitation and prioritization
Reviewing requirements, user stories, or PRDs
Product thinking for Business Analysts
Transitioning from BA to Product Owner
AI-assisted Business Analysis workflows
Handling difficult delivery situations, including internal politics
What you leave with
Clear recommendations, not a list of things to consider
Prioritized next steps for the coming two weeks
Templates and resources where they apply
Honest feedback, including on decisions you've already made
An optional follow-up plan if the problem needs more than one session
