PRODUCTEA with Leah, Growth & Senior Leadership
Operating Model Components
🗣️ "I think that there's a couple of things that I'm looking at a list of some things that I've always thought to include or have been including a lot."
- Define a shared language around team and component evolution. This helps clarify the stages of a product or feature's lifecycle.
- Differentiate between exploratory (0 to 1) efforts and stable, established components ("meat and potatoes").
- Connect the team evolution model to team size and funding decisions.
- Consider "forcing functions" and "stubborn areas" related to your approach to continuous improvement.
Key takeaway: A robust operating model should account for team and product evolution, linking them to resource allocation and improvement strategies.
