As companies scale, the demands for leaders to guide the organization ramp up rapidly.
In the early days of a company, leading by intuition and managing by observation are perfectly feasible modes of operation. Although, as you cross the threshold into scaling, assessing all aspects of your software product – how it’s built, taken to market, monetized, and maintained – gets harder and harder every step of the way.
Enter: Product Operations – the art and science of supporting product strategy with evidence. An unsung hero that fuels winning strategies, and the secret sauce that makes empowers great leaders.
Product Operations is a rising trend in the software product industry. It’s a function that seeks out and eliminates barriers that prevent leaders from creating, executing, and managing evidence-based product strategy. It’s not a single activity or project, but an ongoing process of learning, discovering, and improving. It requires commitment and tenacity, but has a huge payoff.
