Product management consulting · Zagreb, Croatia (EU)
Build the right product.
Then ship it.
I'm Damir Bogadi, a product manager with more than 15 years between business and technology. Through Lavastro I help companies set product direction, deliver it with their teams, and base decisions on solid numbers.
Experience with
Services
Product management, from idea to launch
Digital products succeed when business goals, users and the development team pull in the same direction. I help set that direction and keep it, with the business and the technical side on the same page.
-
Product strategy and roadmap
Vision, roadmap and OKRs that connect business goals to what the team builds next, and a clear answer to what not to build.
-
Interim product manager or owner
I join your team for a period: backlog, priorities, stakeholders and Scrum ceremonies, until the role is filled or the launch is out.
-
Discovery and requirements
Talking to users and stakeholders, then turning business questions into requirements a development team can estimate and deliver.
-
Business cases and pitch decks
Market, financial estimates and a deck that turn an idea into a plan investors and management can say yes to.
-
Launches and market expansion
Preparing a product, its team and its processes for a new market or customer segment.
-
Data products and platforms
Product ownership for data platforms such as Databricks, so data flows reliably from source systems to the portals and reports that use it.

How I work
Three steps, no surprises
-
Step 1
Understand
A free call about your product, your goals and where things are stuck. I ask a lot of questions.
-
Step 2
Agree the plan
A short written proposal: what I'll do, how we'll measure progress, the time it takes and the price.
-
Step 3
Deliver together
I work inside your team and tools, with regular check-ins, and hand over everything so the work continues after me.
