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, learning objects, 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
