The Product Capability Compass.

A straight, honest read on where you are across the eight capabilities that make a strong product person — and the curriculum to raise the ones that need it. Built from real product rooms, not theory.

Use it two ways: assess yourself for a private glimpse of your profile, or benchmark a whole team for appraisals and development planning. It runs entirely in your browser.

For you

Assess myself

Eight quick questions. See your capability radar, your likely level, and a tailored set of next moves for each gap. Nobody sees the result but you.

For VPs & Heads of Product

Benchmark my team

Rate each person across the framework and get a function-level view: a capability heatmap, team strengths and gaps, and appraisal-ready development priorities.

Private by design. Nothing you enter is sent anywhere — no accounts, no tracking, no server. Export a file if you want to keep it.

Assess myself

Your capability profile

Where you are, and what to do next.

The shape matters more than any single score. A spiky profile is normal and often healthy — the point is to choose which edge to grow next.

Benchmark my team

Your function’s capability, at a glance.

Add each person and click a cell to set their level (1–5) on each capability. Everything stays on this device — use Export for a copy you control.

Function development priorities

The capabilities where your team is weakest on average — where a shared investment (a book club, a community of practice, a curriculum) pays back fastest.
