Sound Familiar?

These are the patterns we see in organizations that haven't diagnosed the root causes yet.

  • !

    You're building what stakeholders request instead of what users actually need

  • !

    Nobody can explain why your product exists in one clear sentence

  • !

    You launch features and never measure whether anyone used them

Six Dimensions of Product Practice

Each dimension is scored against the Dreyfus model โ€” from Beginner to Expert. You'll see exactly where you stand in each area and what to do about it.

Vision & Strategic Clarity

Ensure everyone can articulate why this product exists and where it's going.

Discovery & Validation

Test assumptions before building so you stop wasting effort on the wrong things.

User Experience & Design

Design for user outcomes, not feature checklists โ€” and measure what matters.

Delivery & Flow

Get ideas to users fast with minimal friction and maximum learning.

Stakeholder Engagement

Build stakeholder trust through evidence and transparency, not feature requests.

Data-Driven Decision Making

Use evidence to decide what to build next, not the opinion of whoever argues loudest.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this about the Product Owner or the product practice?

The product practice as a whole โ€” not one person's skills. This assesses how well your organization discovers, validates, and delivers product value.

We don't have a formal product team โ€” is this still relevant?

Yes. If your organization builds products or services, these competencies apply regardless of your team structure or titles.

Is this really free?

Yes, completely free. You get your full Growth Wheel, Dreyfus-level scores for all six competency pillars, and personalised growth recommendations โ€” no credit card, no sign-up required.

How long does it take?

About 5 minutes. The assessment has 30 questions โ€” five per competency pillar. Each question asks you to rate yourself against an observable behaviour, so there are no trick questions or lengthy scenarios.

What's the Dreyfus model?

The Dreyfus model of skill acquisition describes five stages of mastery โ€” from Beginner through to Expert. Unlike generic scoring, Dreyfus levels map to specific, observable behaviours at each stage.

Can I retake it?

Absolutely. Retaking every few months helps you track growth over time and see how deliberate practice shifts your scores.

Is my data private?

Yes. Your results are stored locally in your browser. If you choose to create an account later, your data stays private and is never shared or sold.
