I help companies build better products, and better product teams.
I’m Nathan Telford, an independent product manager and consultant. I work inside your team to get clear on what you’re trying to achieve, decide what to build next, and get it shipped.
What I help with
Deciding what to build next
When there are more ideas than people, or the roadmap is a list of features someone promised, I help you get clear on the outcomes you’re after and the evidence behind each bet.
Making product teams work better
I coach product managers, set up habits that help discovery and delivery work together, and help teams make good decisions without waiting to be told.
Stepping in as your product manager
If you need someone to lead a product or a team for a few months, I can do that too, and leave the team stronger than I found it.

How I work
I join your team and work alongside them day to day. While we get on with delivering what you need, I help the team find better ways of working, both with each other and with the rest of the organisation. You’ll get the delivery you need, and a team that keeps getting better at what it does.
