Building a Product Operations function from scratch often means balancing two things: fixing the biggest gaps and showing impact fast. In this talk, Yulia will share how she built Product Ops from zero and what she learned along the way. We’ll look at the signals that a team is ready for Product Ops, the common problems it helps solve, and what stage of product team growth it fits best. Yulia will walk through where to start, what to prioritize first, and how to scale the function over time - so Product Ops becomes a trusted partner that improves focus, alignment, and delivery.
