Stop Shipping Features No One Uses

Build Product-First Teams That Deliver What Matters

Your developers are brilliant, but stuck waiting for specs. The result? Features get built perfectly… but miss the mark with users.

This free guide shows you how to lead engineers who think like owners, not order-takers.

Cut dev cycle time in half by empowering engineers to make decisions without waiting for specs

Ship features users actually adopt with a system that aligns dev + product thinking

Keep your best talent by giving engineers the ownership and clarity they’re craving

What’s Inside This Free Guide

This comprehensive guide reveals how leading tech companies are building development cultures that deliver products users actually want to use.

  • The 5-step framework for transforming code-first developers into product-first innovators

  • How to cut cycle times in half by removing bottlenecks and empowering smarter decisions

  • The adoption playbook to ensure features don’t just ship—they actually get used

  • The ownership model that keeps your best talent engaged, motivated, and solving real problems

  • The alignment blueprint to get product and engineering speaking the same language

We wrote this guide for Tech Leaders like you because we've worked with teams like yours

  • Your developers wait for detailed specifications instead of proposing solutions

  • Features are technically perfect but often miss the mark with users

  • You're spending too much time answering basic clarification questions

  • Your best developers are leaving because they want more ownership

  • Product and engineering teams feel like they're speaking different languages

  • Development cycles are slowed by constant back-and-forth

  • You know there's untapped innovative potential in your team

What It Means to Be Product Driven

Product Driven teams don’t just ship fast.

They ship with purpose.

They own the outcome.

And they never say “just tell me what to build.”

This book shows you how to lead the kind of team you've always wanted.

About the Author

Matt Watson

Matt Watson is the Founder and CEO of Full Scale, a fast-growing software development partner that helps tech companies scale with world-class engineers from the Philippines.


He’s also the former CTO of VinSolutions, which he co-founded and scaled to a $150M acquisition by AutoTrader. After that exit, he went on to launch Stackify, a developer-first monitoring platform that served thousands of teams around the world before being acquired by Netreo.


Across more than two decades in tech, Matt’s built, led, and scaled engineering teams through hypergrowth, high-stakes exits, ugly product failures, brutal fundraising cycles, and the daily chaos of managing smart people with too little context and too many dependencies.

He’s been the engineer, the founder, the CTO, and now the CEO—which means he knows exactly how and why engineering orgs lose the plot when it comes to product outcomes. He’s seen what works, what breaks, and what gets sugarcoated in conference rooms but falls apart in real life.


Product Driven is the no-BS playbook Matt wishes he had twenty years ago—before he had to learn everything the hard way. It’s for tech leaders who are tired of shipping things that don’t matter and ready to build teams that think, lead, and deliver like owners.

Don't waste another sprint with order-takers.

Get your team to think Product First.
