What is Product Operations (ProductOps)?
The function that scales product management by owning the tools, data, processes, and rituals product teams rely on.
ProductOps emerged because product managers were spending 30% of their time on tooling, dashboards, and process glue. The role consolidates that work: owning the prioritization framework, maintaining the analytics stack, running the planning rituals, and making sure every PM in the org operates with the same playbook. In small orgs ProductOps is a 20% slice of someone's job; in scale-ups it becomes a dedicated function reporting to the CPO. Done well, it lets PMs spend their time on customers and bets, the work only they can do.
