TASK: "As the product manager, I was responsible for turning around our mobile product to stop the bleeding and win back customers."

ACTION: "I started by interviewing 30 churned customers to understand exactly why they left. Based on that research, I prioritized 5 critical features that would achieve parity with competitors. I then worked with engineering to restructure our roadmap, negotiated with leadership to add 2 contract developers, and implemented weekly sprint reviews to keep the project on track. I also started a beta program with 50 of our best customers to get feedback before full launch."

RESULT: "We launched the improved mobile app in 3 months, reducing churn from 5% back to 2% within 60 days. We recovered 35% of churned customers and the NPS for our mobile app increased from 32 to 58. This project was recognized in our company all-hands as a turnaround success."
