Working with Wavect in Linz

Linz describes its own economic transition as “from steel to digital”: industry, research, startups, and digital companies operating in the same region.

Product decisions in that environment can span operators, buyers, engineering, suppliers, compliance, and physical workflows. The loudest request may come from the biggest customer or the most senior internal stakeholder, not from the strongest product evidence.

The CPO job is to create one decision model across those voices. We own discovery, product outcomes, and prioritization. Engineering and production remain the CTO’s scope.

// LOCAL FIT

Two Linz situations where product ownership is missing

Both involve a roadmap with more stakeholders than evidence.

A connected or industrial product has two roadmaps

Hardware, operations, and software each have valid priorities. Nobody has defined the customer outcome that decides between them.

An internal platform is becoming a real product

The system began as a project for one department or customer. Adoption grows, requests multiply, and the team now needs product criteria rather than project escalation.
// FIRST 30 DAYS

The first 30 days with a Linz product team

We go to the workflow before we touch the roadmap.

  1. Map users, buyers, and operators
    Separate who buys, who uses, who supports, and who absorbs the operational cost when the product gets a decision wrong.
  2. Define the product outcome
    Choose the customer and business evidence that should drive the next quarter across physical and digital work.
  3. Install cross-functional prioritization
    Create discovery, roadmap review, decision criteria, and a clear route for operational constraints to enter product planning.
// ROLE CHECK

Who owns a Linz industrial product?

The Fractional CPO owns the customer problem and roadmap. The Fractional CTO Linz owns systems, suppliers, engineering, and production. A Fractional CTPO fits when the physical and digital product need one decision owner.

Fractional CPO Linz: local questions

Product discovery when the user is not the only stakeholder.

If the real workflow cannot be understood remotely, yes. We scope on-site interviews or observation as a paid add-on. The purpose is product evidence, not a ceremonial site visit.
The CPO decides product outcomes and priority. The Fractional CTO Linz owns technical architecture and delivery. The decision must be shared, but the accountabilities should not be blurred.
