Test-n-Tell.com - product management and operations

  Product ops as a service empower startups, scaleups and enterprises with the right people, processes and data to supercharge their product efforts and business impact. The terms of engagement for product ops as a service should be clear and transparent. Here they are.

  So it's time to scale your startup? Or you just started a new transformation effort? You need to up your product management game, but you're not sure how? Sure, you can make many mistakes, waste a bunch of money and eventually get it right. Or, you can reach out to people who have done it before.

  Product operations, like any role that focused on processes and improving productivity, should dissolve itself when the desired state is reached. Or should it? What's the ultimate goal of the product ops?

  One of the biggest questions asked about product ops is - how do you know it's working? This question is correct and important, we need to measure product ops activities to know how the get the most out of the function. 

  The product ops process I've described here is an attempt to give folks a high-level framework and a way to look at improving product management at their organisations.

  The product ops process is a high-level framework that could help you identify how your product teams work, introduce changes in a controlled way, improve things and optimise your organisation for higher productivity and job satisfaction.  In the last post , I suggested what the first stage of the process might be - surveying . It's when you aim to understand how your product teams work, how your entire organisation works, discover problems, turn them into products and make those products successful on the market. In this post, I'll cover the central phase of the product ops process - experimentation. 

  Product operations, or product ops , is an emerging field of product management focused on empowering and increasing the effectiveness of product organisations. As with any establishing functions, the product ops process is not yet decisively defined. Every org does product ops differently at the moment.
