Product strategy
Great strategy means great products
Strategic product development is key to customer success and delivering impact.
We work with you to define measurable business outcomes, understand your customers through user research and data analysis, unlock technology opportunities and develop a product strategy that will create extra value for your organisation.
Our strategy leads and product team use various frameworks to identify customer needs to ensure that every client has an achievable product roadmap that will deliver real business impact quickly.
What is a digital product strategy?
Whether a mobile app strategy or website strategy, the outcome is the same - a plan for your digital product that is easily understood by the whole team.
Strategic product development ensures that all user needs are considered and business objectives are defined and documented. It considers team and technology capabilities to create an agile product roadmap that allows clear prioritisation and focus of tasks. Simply, great product strategy means you will achieve your short and long-term business goals effectively and efficiently.
Our core services and process
Our clients start working with us at different stages - from an initial idea to a very clearly defined plan. We can help at every step.
Strategic Consultancy
We’ll bring in-depth industry knowledge, market insights, and technical expertise and work with you to shape effective mobile app and technology strategies. We will help you find informed answers to the big questions; How will mobile transform my business? What is the commercial opportunity? How will it best monetise? Is the technology and team ready to scale? What is the best way to reach our business goals?
Research and Discovery
Discovery determines success. We’ll dive into market insights, your data and your competitors. Our user research team will conduct interviews and surveys to identify key customer needs and pain points. Our strategic discovery defines the product’s purpose, core features, user journeys and measures of success.
Product Roadmap
We’ll work closely with you to create a product roadmap that will deliver impact from the first user release. It will consider dependencies, organisational requirements, user expectations and is split into key phases. Each phase will detail specific tasks, features and milestones. The product roadmap is the blueprint that keeps everyone aligned with the strategic goals.
Product strategy for online retailer
The Very Group are a family of digital retail brands, with a massive online presence on both app and web. The Very app, developed by their in-house team, was functioning well, but Very realised they needed support when it came to product strategy to increase loyalty.
Apadmi's product and strategy teams helped Very to develop a new customer loyalty proposition, which included a set of new features for the app across iOS and Android. This project required working with UX prototypes, technical architecture and high-level solution designs to develop the new loyalty proposition.

The benefits of product strategy
Allocate resources effectively
By defining and understanding each phase of the product strategy, you can allocate the correct resource and the correct time, avoiding costly mistakes or confusion in the future.
Be more aligned with your goals
A defined strategy ensures that you’re not only addressing customer needs, but you’re also aligning more effectively with your goals. By mapping out precisely what you need your product to do, you can track achievements and progress towards these goals.
Increase innovation, reduce risk
Defining your product vision reduces risk of failure, and gives you clear parameters in which you can move forward. You will also be able to respond more efficiently to market changes with responsive innovation.
