Goals

We will measure the success of your role by two main aspects:

- Quality: The reception of the pilot versions by our key customers. If they give them a thumbs up, we will consider it a success. This ensures that the solutions we develop truly meet our customers' needs and maintain the high standards we strive for.

- Efficiency: The throughput time from identifying a need on the roadmap to releasing a pilot version. This is crucial because Fondion invests heavily in product development, and rapid cycle times are essential for maintaining momentum and delivering value quickly.

At Fondion, these metrics are vital because we aim to overhaul our product development process, involving key users more deeply through the BA role to elevate our efforts to the next level.
