What is Fractional Product Management?

Fractional Product Management provides experienced product leadership on a part-time or project basis. Our fractional product managers bridge the gap between business strategy, customer needs, and technical implementation, offering the same expertise as a full-time Chief Product Officer at a fraction of the cost.

What does a Fractional Product Manager do?

Our Fractional Product Managers handle product strategy and roadmap development, user experience design and research, feature prioritization and requirement gathering, stakeholder communication and alignment, product metrics analysis and optimization, and coordination between business, design, and development teams.

How is this different from hiring a full-time Product Manager?

Fractional Product Management offers immediate access to senior-level expertise without the full-time salary, benefits, and equity costs. You get proven product leadership experience, flexible engagement models, fresh outside perspective, and the ability to scale up or down based on your needs and budget.

What type of companies benefit from Fractional Product Management?

Startups needing senior product guidance without full-time costs, established companies launching new products, organizations undergoing digital transformation, businesses needing temporary product leadership during transitions, and companies wanting to validate product concepts before major investments.

How do you ensure alignment with our business goals?

We start with comprehensive business and market analysis, work closely with stakeholders to understand objectives, establish clear success metrics and KPIs, provide regular progress reports and strategic updates, and adapt our approach based on market feedback and business changes. Our fractional product managers work closely with [fractional CTO services](/services/fractional-cto/) to ensure technical feasibility aligns with product vision, and coordinate with our [app development team](/services/app-web-development/) for seamless product delivery.

SERVICE OVERVIEW

Build better products faster

The Situation

To deliver a high-quality product in a reasonable time that can exceed customer expectations & beat out competitors, most companies require a product expert. A Chief Product Officer acts as the liaison between customers, business leadership, and technical leadership, aligning the organization around a clear product vision that can satisfy customers while providing the project management oversight to make it a reality.

The Problems

Unfortunately, the cost of product leadership can be significant and access to this type of experienced technical talent can be very competitive. Because a product expert is often necessary for early-stage software startups, founders often have to choose between giving up serious equity or increasing operating costs.

Our Experiences

From market research, product strategy, and UX/UI to prototyping, sales engineering, and managing a development team, we can provide the technical support needed to build excellent software products.

4.8/5.0

Based on 32 client reviews

Usually, in my experience, contractors are either highly talented but lacking in communication skills or vice versa. Guys from JetThoughts got the best of both worlds. They implemented easy ways to manage the flow of a distributed team and support high-quality code and development overall. Their team was also detailed and precise, helping us to find problems before they appear. We knew exactly what was happening and where we were going the whole time.
