Prioritize Features to Only Build the Most Important Ones.

Download our Requirements Estimation Tool.

ArgonDigital helps enterprises clearly define outcomes and use those to drive value in software solutions.

We apply Product Management methodologies on every single project we work on to help you define measurable business objectives and prioritize features to achieve them.

Measurable ROI

Are you frustrated your IT projects can’t demonstrate positive ROI?

Increased Sales

Are you concerned the features you build don’t actually drive revenue?

Better User Adoption

Faster Delivery of Value

What to expect when working with ArgonDigital.

At ArgonDigital, we’ll use product management approaches on every project to help you ensure success for your business. We work with you to elicit what stakeholders think they need, but dig deeper to analyze what requirements will actually add the most value. Imagine if you could cut 30% of your scope and still meet the business goals?

Working with us, you’ll be able to prioritize the most important features and continue to focus on that to ensure the end product delivers value. Reach out and together we can talk how our product management approach might help you.

Deliver Successful Projects. Every time.

At ArgonDigital, we know you want to regularly knock your business goals out of the park. To do that, you need confidence that you are building the right product that will be adopted and deliver value.

The problem is, your stakeholders may not really be clear about what they need and may be asking for far too many unneeded features. This probably leaves you with a concerning feeling that you are wasting the company’s money (and time) on the wrong things. Frankly, everyone ought to have confidence that their often multi-million dollar investment will ultimately achieve their business goals. In fact, it’s morally wrong for companies to spend the amount of money they do on technology projects, if they can’t be confident in their ROI.

We understand how it feels to be delivering mediocre results and not know how to make them better quickly. That’s why ArgonDigital applies product management expertise to literally every software project we tackle. We help facilitate so your stakeholders are focusing on value throughout.

Here’s how it works – you can set up a call with one of our business architects to talk about your challenges with meeting business objectives today. Together, we’ll determine if we are the right fit to help you. Then we will work with you to define your desired outcomes and develop a strategy to deliver them. When your solution is launched, we’ll even help measure how well you did against your business objectives.

All of this, so that you can stop wasting money on the wrong business initiatives and start hitting your business goals.

Frequently Asked Questions

Many of our clients have asked us to just come do business analysis, product management, product owner, or systems engineering work on their projects alongside their teams. Their primary goal is typically to complete a project successfully. All of our technology projects have some component of product management activities built into our implementation plans.

Sometimes our clients are short on people and sometimes they just need someone else to model the good behavior. Many of our clients ask us to train them in the approaches, and most of them also ask us to do follow-up coaching after training to make sure the new techniques are adopted in practice. Their priority is to improve the skills on their team for a longer lasting impact across the organization, so their teams can eventually deliver more successful projects. You can read more about this here.

First we collaborate to make sure there is a high-level fit (we’ll tell you if we don’t think we’re a fit!). We’ll work together on whatever your technology initiative is to understand what ROI targets you want to measure or business questions you want to answer. We will create an implementation plan and costs as part of the overall technology roadmap. Once we implement the solution, then we measure the ROI and course correct as we go.

Our product management rates are consistent with the outcomes we help deliver. However, before determining what type of resources you need and the price, we would want to have a conversation to better understand your needs and discuss whether we are a good fit. Full transparency, if you are looking for an inexpensive staff aug business analyst, we truly are probably not the best fit. Our clients call us when they have projects that they desperately need to make successful or maybe one that’s heading off the rails. They usually engage us to apply our product management approaches to help them achieve their business objectives.

We are most certainly not domain experts in most domains. That said, our teams come from a broad array of backgrounds – both degrees and industry experience. Also, over twenty years, we’ve worked in almost every part of a business, ranging from marketing, to sales, to operations, to warehousing, to finance. If you’d like to learn more about our experience, we can discuss in more detail.

Yes and no. Our product management approaches are based on our modeling language RML® and are agnostic to any development methodology. We find they are easy to adapt to fit whatever methodologies are in place within an organization. As a company makes an agile transition, we can help them make that transition as well, particularly from a business analyst to product owner perspective.
