Our team is motivated but lacks experience
You’ve got motivated product and design people on board. But they’re early in their careers, or new to this kind of environment. They're trying their best, but struggling to prioritise, lead discussions, or turn vision into focused execution. And with leadership focused on delivery, there’s no time for hands-on coaching.
What’s going wrong?
Designers ask for feedback too late. Product managers are reactive instead of strategic. Engineers work without enough context.
It’s not a lack of effort, it’s a lack of guidance. And that slows delivery across the board.
How we fix it
-
01
We talk to your team to assess skills, mindset and goals
We run short 1:1s and team conversations to understand where everyone is, and where they want to grow. We look at how the team works together today, what’s working well, and what’s holding them back.
That might look like:
- Weekly retros to spot recurring friction and misalignments early
- Shadowing PMs to understand how work is scoped, prioritized, and communicated
- Leadership interviews to clarify expectations and identify critical skill gaps
-
02
We create a development plan for your team and align it with your product needs
We help you shape a clear plan for upskilling that makes sense for both your team and the business. We map out what good looks like, what’s expected at each level, and what gaps need closing.
That could mean:
- A growth plan tailored to your team
- Shared rituals, like design critiques or planning check-ins, to grow confidence and consistency
- A clearer feedback loop between leadership and the team
-
03
We coach your team in the work, not just in theory
We don’t just drop a plan and disappear. We coach your team in real situations: in the meetings, projects, and challenges they’re facing today. So they learn by doing, with a safety net.
That might include:
- Weekly coaching sessions with product managers to refine roadmaps and comms
- Pairing with designers on usability tests or presentation decks
- Spot-checking specs, tickets or team rituals and offering actionable feedback
What you get
- A product and design team that’s confident and equipped
So they can drive work forward independently with clear ownership. - A realistic growth plan that supports your business goals
So individuals know what’s expected, and how to level up in a way that helps the whole team. - On-the-ground coaching, not just slide decks
So your team builds real-world skills that stick, while delivering work that matters.
Ahoy!
