Why culture matters even more in product ops (and how we can shape it)
As ops teams in product orgs, our scope spans people, process, and product. We focus on our own MVPs (minimum viable process) to improve ways of working. We enable teams with data to influence the product. But what about people? How do we drive towards customer & business outcomes if our ProdOps team doesn't feel empowered? How do you influence and navigate something as nebulous as team "culture"? In this session, find out why culture & fostering community matters even more in ProdOps. Leave with takeaways to leverage in your day-to-day to build alignment within, embrace autonomy, and shape your ProdOps culture to achieve the outcomes you want.
