Why We Make You the Product Manager: Our Unique Approach to Agile Software Development
At Big Room Technologies we don’t just build innovative custom software—we build collaborative, long-lasting partnerships. Sure, you’ve probably heard that before, so what makes us truly different?
When you work with Big Room, you get a seat at the development team table, right alongside our engineers.
We invite our clients to become Product Managers in the Agile development process. Agile isn’t just a buzzword, it’s a central pillar of how we work, and it dramatically impacts the success of every project we deliver.
Bridging the Gap Between Vision and Execution
Too often in software development, there’s a disconnect between what a client envisions and what gets built. Requirements get lost in translation, priorities shift without notice, and the end result can miss the mark.
By making our clients active Product Managers, we close that gap.
As a Product Manager, you’re embedded in the team, participating in sprint planning, reviewing deliverables in real time, and making critical decisions about features, functionality, and priorities. This level of collaboration ensures we’re always building the right thing at the right time.
What It Looks Like in Practice
Here’s how we make this collaboration work:
Regular “stand up” meetings where you stay up-to-date with our progress and provide feedback to keep things moving smoothly.
Backlog prioritization sessions where we collaborate to prioritize features and clarify user stories.
Live demos at the end of each sprint so you can see progress, give feedback, and adjust direction.
Transparent tools and reporting so you’re never left wondering what’s being worked on or what’s coming next.
Regular interaction with our team’s Product Owner to ensure your vision and feedback is getting translated to the development team accurately.
Why It Works
Faster feedback loops: We don’t wait weeks to learn what you think. Instead, you’re involved every step of the way.
Better products: By prioritizing features based on your industry knowledge, we build tools that actually solve your unique business problems.
Shared ownership: When you’re part of the process, you’re more invested in the success of the product, and so are we.
Fewer surprises: Agile doesn’t mean chaos, it means continuous iteration and improvement.
Not Just Agile — Empowered Agile
Many companies “do Agile,” but few truly embrace what it means to involve the customer as a core team member. At Big Room, we believe the best software is created not just for you, but with you.
We’ll be honest, this approach takes commitment. It requires your time and attention throughout the development process, just as it requires our transparency and expertise. But when we bring these elements together, the results are powerful: software that fits your needs, adapts to your business, and delivers real value.
