01
Discovery and MVP scope
Identify the users, the problem and the assumptions to check. Choose the essential tasks for a first release and define how you will know they work.
Product discovery and delivery
Turn a product idea into a clear next step.
Not sure what to build first, or which features matter most? We help founders and product leads define the problem, set priorities and plan a first release around the time and resources available.

Where we help
Make the next product decision easier.
We help you decide what the product needs to do, what can wait and what the first release will involve. Engineering input brings technical dependencies and trade-offs into those decisions early.
02
Roadmap and backlog review
Review goals, feedback and dependencies. Create a now/next/later roadmap and explain why each priority matters.
03
Delivery and release support
Break priorities into features the team can build and review. Coordinate feedback and prepare the release, documentation and responsibilities for what follows.
04
Learning after release
Agree on success measures, review real feedback and decide what to improve next with your product owner.
A practical starting point
A clear plan for your first release.
A problem brief, prioritized first release and delivery assumptions give you a concrete basis for estimating and deciding what to build next.
Why Stax3
Technical trade-offs early
Engineering input helps connect the product plan to dependencies, implementation choices and maintainability before work expands.
Clear decisions and responsibilities
We make priorities, acceptance and ownership explicit so your team can review the plan and understand what happens next.
Engineering decisions
From a shared problem to a reviewable plan.
Understand the goal and evidence
We review what you know about users, the business goal and the current product. We identify assumptions and agree on any research responsibilities.
Define and prioritize the scope
We map the key journey, discuss trade-offs with engineering and your product owner, and define the smallest useful release.
Plan delivery and feedback
We prepare acceptance criteria, dependencies and an initial release plan. Your team reviews the decisions before implementation begins.
Relevant experience
Product planning grounded in engineering.
The engineers who help plan the product also understand what it takes to build it. We discuss priorities alongside data, integrations and maintenance, then agree which research and planning activities your project needs.

Before we start.
Is this only project tracking?
No. We help clarify the problem, priorities and scope as well as delivery steps. Your product owner remains involved in product decisions and acceptance.
Can you conduct user research?
Research activities, recruitment, interview ownership and analysis are agreed for the engagement. We start by reviewing the evidence you already have and the questions that need answers.
What will we have at the end?
An agreed problem brief, prioritized scope, key workflows, acceptance criteria and release-plan inputs. Prototypes, interviews and ongoing coordination are included when agreed in the scope.
Start with the context
What decision is holding your product back?
Share your goal, current product or backlog, and the decisions you need to make. We will work out where planning can help.
