SoftwareCaptains Academy

Your company is your product

As a technical leader—whether you’re a team lead, tech founder, or engineering manager—you know that your company’s success is directly tied to the strength of your product.

To build a world-class product, you need a clear, compelling, and actionable product vision that aligns your team, scales with your company, and drives impact.

In this Masterclass for Technical Leaders, you’ll learn how to craft that vision and turn it into a product that delivers.

What you’ll learn

As a CTO, you’re responsible to build or to contribute to a backlog and a roadmap for your product. How do you start with that? How do you prevent that with every new day a new priority arises from your CEO or Sales?

We’ll cover these topics:

  • How do I start with a planning, backlog, roadmap?
  • How do I maintain the balance between short term agility and long term strategy?
  • How do I build a successful sales-led product strategy?
  • How do I build a succesful product-led-growth (PLG) strategy?
  • How do I communicate my roadmap to my CEO and my peers in sales, marketing, customer success, finance, … ?
  • How do I translate the roadmap to the bottom line in my company?
  • How do I prevent an overloaded roadmap, so I can deliver what I promise?
  • How do I build a product metrics dashboard?
  • How do I manage technical debt in my roadmap?
  • How do I collect essential customer’s feedback with minimal overhead?
  • How do I deliver my roadmap in sprints and releases?
  • How do I recruit a product manager or product owner? What can I expect from them?

What you’ll get

  • Insight in typical roadmap challenges: You’ll get an overview of the challenges that come with building a roadmap
  • Practical strategies: Learn how to tackle those challenges.
  • Decades of experience: Peter has worked in product development for decades.
  • Q&A sessions: Ask your specific questions and receive tailored advice.
