Case Study

Whitespace, a global software technology company, helps companies design, develop and build new ideas, products and ventures.

OVERVIEW:

Whitespace makes the "What next" happen.

They help businesses innovate, from the small things that can make a big difference to more-involved 'Eureka!' projects.

Whitespace needed a centralised solution to:

1. Operationalise their Product Lifecycle Governance Framework to enable assessments on the design and health of their products, across all lifecycle stages.
2. Collaborate with team members and the leadership team on the status of their products with visible goals.
3. Provide automated reporting focused on product health, performance, governance, risks and strategies.
4. Automate product review triggers to identify and manage risks.
5. Enable a greater focus on product growth by providing a product growth toolkit.
6. Save time as existing processes required high effort and time.

1. KEY CHALLENGES:

Whitespace sought a solution to address the following challenges:

• To reduce effort and improve visibility on product health and status.
• To reduce the time spent on updating colloborators and the leadership team about product developments.
• To follow a framework that allowed more time to be dedicated to enhancing product performance and facilitating growth.

Chris Shields, Whitespace Technology and Innovation Manager

"Skyjed has provided an invaluable toolset to support product management throughout the lifecycle of a product or suite of products.  Through their flexible and comprehensive Design and Audit tools, we have been able to efficiently and transparently document the health and status of our products in a single, centralised location.

 

Whilst this could be accomplished through traditional decentralised tools, bringing together this information into a cohesive checklist and accompanying reports has polarised key product health and readiness information that couldotherwise have been missed. 

Further to this, the Product Audit reporting has allowed us to quickly compile large volumes of product information into an easy to digest summary and score, that we make available to our senior leadership teams and has been received very well. 

Product audits and findings in a presentable format that would have taken 4-5 hours to
prepare are now achievable in around 30 minutes, allowing us to devote more time back to other valuable tasks. Whether you are managing one product or many, Skyjed has provided a capable framework to make sure you are robust and diligent in your product management role."
