Most learning teams know what they want to build. Far fewer know how to decide what to build first, or how to keep a product moving when the roadmap turns into a wish list and the team loses the thread.

That is where a Fractional Chief Product Officer comes in.

As your Fractional CPO, Justin brings executive-level product leadership to your organization on a part-time or engagement basis without the overhead of a full-time C-suite hire. He embeds in your team, owns the product vision alongside your leadership, and does the work: user discovery, persona hypotheses, JTBDs, roadmap governance, backlog prioritization, cross-functional alignment, OKR setting and post-mortems, and the relentless "are we building the right thing?" conversation that separates great EdTech products from expensive ones.

This Engagement Is Right If:

• You are building or scaling a learning platform, LMS, or content product and need a named product owner

• You have deep subject matter expertise but no product management discipline

• You are transitioning from a project-based content shop to a product organization

• You have inherited a roadmap you do not trust and need a fast, honest assessment

• You need board-level product credibility without a board-level executive package

What You Get:

Dedicated CPO hours (weekly or biweekly), clear product roadmaps with prioritized epics, stakeholder alignment processes, hypothesis-driven design rituals, and a product leader who has shipped curricula and platforms for some of the largest education organizations in the world, from K–12 to higher education to corporate training.

What Engagement Looks Like:

• Discovery ⟶ 2-4 Weeks ⟶ [personas, hypotheses, roadmaps]⟶ Deciding whether/what to build

• Retainer ⟶ 3-12 Months ⟶ [OKRs, governance, ownership] ⟶ Actively building/scaling

• Advisor ⟶ Ongoing ⟶ [quarterly reviews, board reporting] ⟶ Teams needing PM leadership
