PM HANDS-ON SPRINT / E-COMMERCE

Peak season in 2 months. Backlog has 500 tickets. Nobody knows what to build first.

2 weeks. I'll sort the backlog, write user stories, plan the sprints. Zero PowerPoints.

  • Backlog cut from 500 tickets to 50 priorities. Your team delivers for the season.
  • Marketing and dev on the same page — no more priority wars.
  • A PM who delivers, not one who logs tickets in Jira.

Guarantee: No value after week 1 → you pay 7 500 PLN instead of 25 000

Too many ideas. Nothing ships.

CEO wants an app, CTO is rewriting the stack, CMO wants a loyalty program

Everyone pulls in a different direction. Result: 3 priority lists, zero alignment, dev team doesn't know what matters. Meetings last 2 hours and end without decisions.

Your PM just logs tickets — nothing moves

You have a PM but they're a "Jira admin." They transcribe what people say. No validation. No discovery. They never say "no." The backlog grows faster than the team can deliver.

Campaigns launch before tech is ready

Marketing planned a Black Friday campaign. The landing page doesn't exist. Tracking is broken. The promo went live — the site crashed under traffic.

Every month without prioritization costs 36 000 PLN — on rework, campaigns without tracking, and developers building things nobody needs.

An e-commerce without a PM loses the season.

E-commerce is growing but margins are shrinking. Your competitors have an app, personalization, a loyalty program. Your team has 500 tickets and zero priorities.

1

Customers expect more — free shipping, 30-day returns, same-day delivery

2

Seasonality demands planning — Black Friday, Christmas without a roadmap = firefighting

3

Marketing and tech must work together — a campaign without a landing page = money wasted

You don't need more people. You need someone who tells you what to do FIRST.

100K budget → 1M revenue. This is what a well-run e-commerce looks like.

ROI x10

Kazar — 1M+ PLN revenue

Marketing was inventing campaigns, dev team had its own priorities, CEO wanted innovation. I walked in and asked: what's your LTV:CAC? Silence. Social media campaign 100K → 1M+ PLN revenue.

80%+ adoption

Bauwerk — platform for 2500 partners

B2B e-commerce with a partner network. Discovery with partners instead of boardroom assumptions. Result: 80%+ adoption.

3 → 30 FTE

24/7Digital — scaling a digital agency

A digital agency serving e-commerce clients. I implemented product processes and sprint planning. Scaled without sacrificing quality.

"We don't have time, peak season is around the corner." That's exactly why the sprint takes 2 weeks, not 6 months.

"Our e-commerce is unique — we have a custom OMS, WMS, integrations."

I've built products with SAP integrations, custom ERPs, multi-warehouse setups. Days 1-2 are diagnostics.

"Peak season is 2 months away, we can't change processes now."

The sprint doesn't change processes — it sorts priorities. After 2 weeks your team knows what to build FOR the season.

"25K for 2 weeks? We have budget for a developer."

A developer without priorities builds things nobody needs.

In 2 weeks:

Backlog sorted, team working on what drives revenue for the season. Marketing has landing pages planned with dev. CEO stops asking "what are we doing?" because there's a roadmap.

Frequently asked questions

Especially for you. I step in as PM for 2 weeks, sort things out, and leave processes in place.

I get into the backlog, validate ideas with data, and say "no" to ideas that don't make sense.
