Product Strategy in Edinburgh
Deciding what a Edinburgh product is for, who it serves and what it will deliberately not do. The last part is what makes it a strategy — a roadmap that accommodates every request from every customer is a backlog with dates attached.
Why this comes up
The problem
The roadmap is driven by whichever customer complained most recently. The product grows in every direction, becomes harder to explain, and serves nobody particularly well.
What you get
What we deliver
- Target user defined specifically, including who the product is not for
- The problem it solves better than the alternatives, stated as a claim you could test
- What you will not build, written down so it can be pointed at later
- Pricing and packaging considered as part of the product rather than after it
- A roadmap themed around outcomes rather than a dated list of features
- Decision criteria, so the next customer request can be judged rather than debated

Product Strategy in Edinburgh — common questions
- Our biggest customer wants a feature. Should we build it?
- It depends whether it serves the users you have decided to serve. Building for the loudest customer is how products become bespoke systems with one paying user, and the revenue that justified it rarely covers the maintenance that follows.
- Should the roadmap have dates?
- Near-term items yes, further out no. Committing to dated features a year ahead is either fiction or a constraint that stops you responding to what you learn. Themed quarters with clear intent communicate more honestly.
- How specific should the target user be?
- More specific than feels comfortable. A product for small businesses generally serves none of them well; a product for independent letting agents with under fifty properties can be genuinely excellent for them, and that clarity also makes it markedly easier to market.
- How often should strategy change?
- The direction rarely; the roadmap continuously. If the strategy changes quarterly it was not a strategy, and teams stop believing whatever replaces it.
- Do you work with businesses across City of Edinburgh?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout Scotland, including Edinburgh and the surrounding City of Edinburgh area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Edinburgh businesses do you usually work with?
- Financial services and data-led work, plus seasonal systems that have to absorb enormous August load without falling over. Beyond that we work across Financial Services, Technology, Tourism, Higher Education and Data Science.
- Do you cover the areas around Edinburgh?
- Yes — we work throughout Scotland, including Glasgow. Edinburgh is an urban area of roughly 540,000+, and we take on work across the wider City of Edinburgh region rather than the city boundary alone.
