Product Operations Setup-in-a-Box
Decision rights, prioritisation cadence, and operating rhythm — installed.
Overview
Install decision rights, governance cadence, and reporting visibility in 4–6 weeks. Product Forge's Product Ops Setup is built for South African product teams with contested decisions and unclear ownership.
The Problem We Solve
When product teams scale, the informal patterns that worked for five people break down at fifteen. Decisions stall, priorities are opaque, and no one knows who owns what. The answer isn't more process — it's the right operating model, installed properly.
Who This Is For
What You Receive
- Decision rights matrix — RACI-style ownership for all major product decisions
- Prioritisation framework — scoring model and backlog governance rules
- Operating cadence design — rituals, rhythms, and meeting architecture
- Artifact templates — PRD, brief, discovery doc, and sprint review format
- Onboarding guide for new product hires
- 30-day adoption plan with coaching touchpoints
What Is Not Included
We scope our engagements tightly so we can deliver with full accountability. These are outside the boundaries of this offer:
- Does not include tool implementation (Jira, Linear, Notion setup)
- Does not replace ongoing product management or delivery ownership
