  • Facilitate strategy-to-roadmap workshops; create prioritized, evidence-backed product roadmaps tied to R&D capacity and financial targets.
  • Implement product operating cadence: discovery backlog, experiment plans, stage gates, KPI dashboards, and post-launch reviews.
  • Coach product leaders (CEOs, CPOs/VPs Product, CTOs) in Pragmatic/SVPG methods; deliver templates, training, and playbooks to build durable capability.
  • Partner with Engineering on capacity planning and with Finance on ROI models; ensure investment decisions are transparent and tied to outcomes.
  • Create reusable assets across the portfolio: interview templates, survey banks, market model templates, roadmap formats, and executive readout materials.
  • Track and report value creation: improvements in win rates and retention, roadmap adoption, time-to-learning, and R&D mix shifts.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
