Product Operations has been the talk of the town over the past two years, but why is it so important in product management, and what does the role entail? In this week's podcast, Antonia Landi, Product Operations Consultant, leads us on a journey through the world of product ops, outlining its purpose, significance, and how its role can vary based on a company's specific needs. We delve into the misconceptions around product ops and discover that it’s not just about creating mural boards but is an essential cog in the product development machinery.
