Traits of weak Product Companies
Lack of prioritization and planning
New topics coming “out of nowhere” mid-sprint and needed to be put on top of everything else. In other words, there was no real planning beyond a two-week horizon for development teams.
Team didn’t know the company strategy or goals
You team didn’t understand stakeholders’ or users’ needs. In other words, the team was completely removed (or rather kept away) from the bigger picture.
Lack of clarity and direction
The dev teams didn’t know why they had to do certain things a certain way. Difficulty balancing business and technology needs, leading to confusion and hesitation in decision-making.
Control down to sprint level
Pre-sprint planning meetings with top management (!) to plan the next sprint of a team. In other words, the team was not able to say “no” to anything because it was already decided what goes into their sprint.

Take the next step
Let’s treat the core problems, not symptoms.
As businesses grow and evolve, the internal processes that once worked well can become outdated, inefficient, and slow. To stay competitive and continue to grow, it’s essential to constantly assess and optimize these processes.
Altamira team will work closely with you to analyze your internal processes and identify areas that can be streamlined, automated, or digitized. We’ll assess your current processes, along with specific recommendations for improvements.
4 signals of outdated processes:
Overcoming Tech Infrastructure Struggles
Struggles with current tech infrastructure, making it hard to integrate new technology solutions
Balancing Business and Technology Needs
Difficulty balancing business and technology needs, leading to confusion and hesitation in decision-making
Digital Service and Tools Confusion
Confusing digital services and the overwhelming number of options available
Unclear Technology Adoption Path
An unclear technology adoption path and uncertainty about which solutions are best for your business
Digitalization Roadmap
Our approach is highly collaborative, and we work closely with your team to ensure a smooth transition to the new and improved processes.
Step 1
Understanding the business
We start by understanding your business environment, defining the stakeholders on both sides, and organizing initial meetings to absorb as much information as possible. We believe that a thorough understanding of business context is essential for delivering effective technology solutions.
Step 2
Involving domain knowledge expertise
To ensure a successful solution, it's crucial to involve domain knowledge expertise. We identify types of domain knowledge experts: technical and business. Tech experts specialize in fields (e.g. Dicom, Data Architecture, ML), while business experts have in-depth experience (e.g. legal, regulations)
Step 3
Problem definition
We pay close attention to your project goals and problems to be solved. Our team formalized the problem statement with a detailed description and specific goals. And run an analysis of non-technical and technical dependencies to ensure a thorough understanding of the project's requirements.
Step 4
Digital Strategy Definition
We carefully craft a technological solution mix that considers all non-technical implications that may impact the resulting technological options. Our team analyses the available tools and systems on the market and recommends the optimal combination of solutions to fulfil your business needs.
