What is Product Operations?
Fundamentally, product operations, or product ops, is a support system for product teams. Product operations keeps product managers and marketers on track and equips their teammates with the tools, processes, and information they need to build excellent products. That might mean identifying and customizing tools, documenting and refining processes, refining communication, and gathering and cleaning data for analysis. By acting as a dedicated resource for these vital tasks, product operations helps the whole product team work more efficiently and effectively.
How does product operations differ from product management?
Although there is some overlap between product managers and product operations, these distinct roles help each other fulfill their many shared responsibilities. Product managers use insights about the market to shape their product’s long-term vision and strategy. Product operations coordinates data analysis and manages processes. In this way, product operations is a “force multiplier” because taking on detail-oriented daily tasks allows other team members to focus on the big picture. Ultimately, this helps the whole product team make faster, better-informed decisions about their products.
