“As a seasoned management practitioner with over 20 years of experience, I currently hold the position of CEO at Plucky Rebels, a company specialising in product management for companies from startups to corporations. I also support organisations in product transformation. My focus lies in value creation and fostering a culture of continuous learning, which are key drivers in my approach.
My career has spanned various roles, including Director, Head of Product, Program and Project Manager, Architect, Servant Leader, and Product Manager. For over 15 years, I have managed organisations, teams, and architectures in diverse contexts. My portfolio includes traditional organisations, such as Europe’s largest private higher education institutions, and agile-managed organisations. My expertise lies in actively supporting organisations in product creation.
For nearly a year, I have been a co-creator of Plucky Rebels, a Product House delivering comprehensive Product Management, Professional Scrum Masters, and solution architects in subscription. We base our work on Lean Startup, Scrum, and Agile principles, focusing on delivering value to clients geared towards innovative solutions. We provide services to diverse clients, from dynamic startups to established large companies, all seeking to develop and innovate their ideas efficiently.”
Workshop—You Have a Roadmap. They Have a Deadline. When Product Meets Project.
You have a roadmap but someone else has a deadline.
You manage a product but your company thinks in projects.
You get scope, a date, and an expectation: just deliver.
Sounds familiar? You are not alone.
In many organizations, product and project thinking exist side by side not by design but by accident. Projects offer structure and safety: a beginning, an end, a budget, a report. Products offer continuity and learning. But when both worlds collide, teams are left wondering who decides what really matters and whether they are delivering outputs or outcomes.
In this hands-on workshop, we focus on two essential elements that help bridge the gap:
first, building a shared vocabulary around key terms like product, project, roadmap, scope, and WBS;
second, exploring practical structural models that show how product development and project delivery can be aligned in real organizations.
The session includes a real-world case study, adapted from a client project in a product-focused company with a strong project culture. You will work in small groups to analyze the situation, identify the structural model behind it, and propose better questions, clearer language, and more aligned ways of working.
You will leave with a clearer language for cross-team collaboration, an understanding of how structure shapes behavior, and one actionable insight to try tomorrow.
This session is for anyone who works in agile and product settings but still has to deliver within project constraints - and sometimes struggles to make it all fit.
Whether you're a product owner, delivery lead, or part of a cross-functional team, if you're caught between a roadmap and a Gantt chart, this workshop is for you.
