Product operations: Driving business value in government
Product Operations is a critical discipline for any organization that wants to deliver value to users consistently and efficiently. In this session, we will share our experience at the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Management (CMS) in transforming our organization from a project-based mindset to a product-value-driven mindset. We will discuss how we used Product Operations to eliminate the barriers that have historically existed within the organization, disrupted the pattern of unclear requirements, and empowered our teams to deliver consistent, meaningful products on time, on budget, and solve real-world problems. This session is for anyone who wants to learn more about Product Operations and how it can be used to drive business value in any organization.
