It\u2019s a function that has matured in recent years and is seen as a key component of product-led growth in companies with a strong focus on product management.<br><br>One of the earliest questions about product management in a small company is \u201cwhen do I need to hire a product manager?\u201d. As the company grows, the answer to the next question is \u201cwhen do I need product ops?\u201d is usually presaged by some obvious signs. Let\u2019s examine a few of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.prodpad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/PurpleDotCogs.png\" alt=\"Product Ops\" class=\"wp-image-77861\" width=\"493\" height=\"421\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.prodpad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/PurpleDotCogs.png 708w, https:\/\/www.prodpad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/PurpleDotCogs-300x256.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 493px) 100vw, 493px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<a class=\"anchor-link\" id=\"data-vs-CEO\"><\/a>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-data-driven-decision-making-vs-ceo-s-demands\">Data-driven decision-making vs CEO\u2019s demands<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Is senior management making the product decisions? To move quickly in a changing market, product managers need to be guided by data as they prioritize their work. In the absence of data-driven decision-making, teams can become conflicted and base their decisions on opinions, often listening to the loudest voice in the room (the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.prodpad.com\/blog\/managing-your-boss\/\">HiPPO<\/a> or highest-paid person\u2019s opinion). In the absence of evidence, the roadmap turns into a list of features decided upon by senior management. Some of these decisions will be right, but some will be wrong &#8211; and that introduces an undesirable element of risk.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"callout content-dark\" style=\"background-color:#e3e3e3\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Signs to look out for<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Conflicting views on the next priority<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lots of development, but missed objectives<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Always working on the latest idea (or a bad case of <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Shiny_object_syndrome\">shiny object syndrome<\/a>)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"callout content-dark\" style=\"background-image: linear-gradient(135deg, #b0e6e0,#c2eabb)\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Actions to take<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Ensure there is access to objective data sources (i.e. product analytics, CRM data, GA, etc)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Identify signals and insights which require deeper understanding<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use discovery and validation techniques to investigate further and reach conclusions about potential solutions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>With conclusions drawn from objective data, the best decisions are more obvious, and it\u2019s easier for teams to push back on opinions that have low merit. The role of product ops is to learn about the kind of questions product management are likely to ask and identify the best sources of data to answer those questions. This might involve implementing a product analytics tool or creating reports that provide clear guidance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Product Discovery vs Product Development&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Are the teams becoming delivery-led and skipping product discovery? Growth may stall when technical teams are in the driving seat. Large and messy backlogs can develop if there isn\u2019t a discovery process to filter the right ideas through to development in a controlled manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"callout content-dark\" style=\"background-color:#e3e3e3\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Signs to look out for<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Large, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.prodpad.com\/blog\/how-to-clean-messy-product-backlog\/\">messy backlog<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Unexpected (and potentially unwanted) features being released<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>References to product management being a \u201cbottleneck\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"callout content-dark\" style=\"background-image: linear-gradient(135deg, #b0e6e0,#c2eabb)\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Actions to take<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Separate strategy from execution, with a product backlog and a development backlog in separate places<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Include UX, development and business stakeholders as ideas are validated and tested<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ensure that the highest priority ideas are specced first, and give development clear guidance on which ideas are important for them to include in their planning<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>With a pipeline of ideas progressing through this process, everyone is aware of what\u2019s coming in the coming weeks, and prioritization of the backlog is much easier. Product operations is well placed to select and implement a product management tool like <a href=\"https:\/\/app.prodpad.com\/signup\">ProdPad <\/a>that enables the product management process and helps product managers to find the value in a messy backlog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Infrequent releases vs short iterations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Are there lots of ideas but no action? In any competitive market, quick reaction times are key to solving customer problems. The longer it takes to solve a problem, the more likely that a competitor will disrupt your place in the market. Reducing the time between insight and action is a strong measure of success for any product team &#8211; but it\u2019s not always easy for larger, more established teams.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"callout content-dark\" style=\"background-color:#e3e3e3\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Signs to look out for<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A feeling that the product team isn\u2019t listening to the market (spoiler, they probably are, but can\u2019t react quickly enough)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lack of clarity on how to turn insights into action<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lots of ideas, little execution<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"callout content-dark\" style=\"background-image: linear-gradient(135deg, #b0e6e0,#c2eabb)\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Actions to take<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Define a standard discovery, development, and measurement process that all ideas can follow<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ensure that ideas are broken down into executable chunks before being developed<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Work lean! Use an MVP to prove (or disprove) hypotheses before assigning expensive development resources<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s a clich\u00e9 but still true &#8211; the more shots you take, the more likely you are to hit the net. Rather than planning huge releases with big product changes, lean experimentation allows product managers to learn what works in a short amount of time, so they can adapt as they learn. But managing the experimentation process can be time-consuming and involves measuring outcomes &#8211; and this is where product ops is uniquely positioned to help, both with experiment design and with success measurement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Product Ops and product management process<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Are there lots of teams working in different ways and using different processes? When lots of product teams work in isolation, a lack of standardization quickly develops, especially when they\u2019re allowed to choose their own tool stack or way of working. We\u2019ve all seen \u201ccombined\u201d roadmaps that look like ransom notes, with different formats, fonts, and levels of details in evidence.\u00a0<br><br>The phrase \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Black_box\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">black box<\/a>\u201d is often applied to product management. Product teams can feel distant from the rest of the business, with other functions feeling out of the loop with what\u2019s going on, or how decisions are made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"callout content-dark\" style=\"background-color:#e3e3e3\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Signs to look out for<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Every team uses a different set of spreadsheets or document templates<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stakeholders don\u2019t understand what\u2019s being done and why<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Product management has to field lots of questions about when changes will be done<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"callout content-dark\" style=\"background-image: linear-gradient(135deg, #b0e6e0,#c2eabb)\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Actions to take<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Define a standard prioritization framework that works for everyone.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Harmonize the business around a single set of tools and\/or document templates<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ensure every stakeholder has access to an up-to-date roadmap<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Taking the time to understand the needs of multiple teams requires the dedication and neutrality of someone who is focused on achieving company goals, rather than the goals of an individual product team. That\u2019s where the product ops function comes in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lack of alignment on company vision<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Is there no clarity on why decisions are made? Alignment is impossible if there is no clarity on the company vision and current objectives from the top of the business. Even if vision and objectives are defined, they still need to be communicated in a way that everyone can understand.<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"callout content-dark\" style=\"background-color:#e3e3e3\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Signs to look out for<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Customer-facing teams are unaware of why decisions are made<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Competing priorities with teams fighting for resources &amp; investment<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Progress is slow and split across many different product areas<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"callout content-dark\" style=\"background-image: linear-gradient(135deg, #b0e6e0,#c2eabb)\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Actions to take<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Provide a single source of truth for all product management research, accessible by all stakeholders<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Implement an outcome-focused roadmap tied back to business objectives<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>By ensuring that all team members have access to the roadmap and the ability to self-serve information when they have questions, a product operations team can reduce friction across the business and encourage team collaboration (and therefore better outcomes).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A disconnect between product and customers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Are the sales and service teams acting as gatekeepers for their customers? Product-market fit, that sweet spot where the product so completely solves its users\u2019 problems that buying it is a no-brainer, is virtually impossible to achieve when the product team is disconnected from customers.&nbsp; This can happen in large companies where sales and services teams act as gatekeepers for their customers and create a barrier between those who are focused on building new products and the users that they serve. It means innovation is reduced and progress stalls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"callout content-dark\" style=\"background-color:#e3e3e3\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Signs to look out for<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>No feedback coming directly from customers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>No feedback provided by customer-facing teams<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Low adoption of new features<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"callout content-dark\" style=\"background-image: linear-gradient(135deg, #b0e6e0,#c2eabb)\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Actions to take<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Implement a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.prodpad.com\/blog\/customer-feedback-product-process-1\/\">multi-channel feedback process<\/a>, accessible to users and potential users<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Centralize the research function and ensure research is accessible to all teams, regardless of which team initiated the research<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Include marketing teams in the upcoming roadmap, so they can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.prodpad.com\/blog\/product-feature-launch\/\">prepare product launches<\/a> based on the product teams\u2019 view of what problems are being solved.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Once again, the product ops function comes to the rescue by implementing the tools and process changes needed to encourage <a href=\"https:\/\/www.prodpad.com\/features\/customer-feedback\/\">feedback from customers<\/a> and centralize it in a single repository for continuous discovery.<br><br>Are you ready to get started?
