How SoftServe made it there?
![Page 12: Product Management in Outsourcing: How it works? Roman Pavlyuk, SoftServe Lviv 2015](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5697c00d1a28abf838cc976a/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
How we got there
2005Trilogy Auto-Predictive Market
Game: First project where we took absolute control over the technical
solution.
2010 HP/TippingPoint Security Reporting Server project: the first large-scale
completed fix-cost project at SoftServe. A set of innovative
management solutions was applied.
2010-2014 Technology consulting projects
delivered Technology consulting methodology
established.
2015 Technical Product Management launched with strategic clients
![Page 13: Product Management in Outsourcing: How it works? Roman Pavlyuk, SoftServe Lviv 2015](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5697c00d1a28abf838cc976a/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Pre-conditions to successful launch
Access to strategic Product Management executives since the beginning of cooperation
Subject matter expert (SME) / product manager involved
On pre-sales Product Manager made a commitment to run the
project (aka mini-CEO)
![Page 14: Product Management in Outsourcing: How it works? Roman Pavlyuk, SoftServe Lviv 2015](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5697c00d1a28abf838cc976a/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Problems resolved by the new model
Full engineering at SoftServeSoftServe took full execution and engineering ownership of the product
Improved cross-communicationTechnical Product Manager handled communication with customer on higher level their engineering usually does. And then delivered messages to implementation team in “engineering” language
High employee satisfactionTeam members are happy with what they are doing and what technologies they work with. “We feel we work like in product company!” – that’s what they say

Issues
Stakeholder identificationWe didn’t perform the right stakeholder identification process at the beginning which led to reworks and release delays
Insufficient vertical knowledgeOur team still rely deeply on skills and domain knowledge of Technical Project Manager and/or Subject Matter Expert.
