The Role of the "Operations Product Manager" in Agile Companies
The traditional Product Manager (PM) builds software for the end customer. The Operations Product Manager (Ops PM) builds software and processes for the internal customer (the employees). Treating operations as a "Product" completely changes the efficiency perspective.
The Mind of the Ops PM
Instead of shoving a process down throats: "Fill out this spreadsheet by Friday," the Ops PM researches. They sit with the sales team, understand why they hate the current CRM, gather requirements, and create a tool they want to use.
Building the "Internal Product" in Jestor
This is where Jestor stands out by delivering the solution in practice:
- The PM's Playground: Jestor is the environment where the Ops PM builds their solutions (Citizen Developer). It's Figma and code at the same time.
- Rapid Iteration (Agile): The PM launches v1 of the reimbursement process on Monday. Hides confusing fields on Tuesday. Improves automation on Wednesday.
- Success Metrics: The PM uses Jestor's own dashboards to measure "Adoption" (how many tickets were opened via the new portal vs. old email).
