Product Operating Model Designer

Designs the operating model for each product in your taxonomy: team structure, business engagement model, planning cadence, and measurement system. AI compares your design against the seven failure modes documented in the Seven Domains research. Loads Culture Survey and Change vs. Transformation context to flag the cultural gaps that will limit the model before you deploy it.

downloadPhase 1 — Load Context

The operating model is designed from evidence, not aspiration.

Load your Product Taxonomy for the product list and lifecycle stages. Load your Value Stream Map for the handoff structure and efficiency data — this directly shapes team design and deployment ownership decisions. Load a Change vs. Transformation result and the AI calibrates how ambitious the model should be. Culture data loads automatically from your most recent survey.

Organisation context
Industry, size, transformation stage, union/contractor constraints, regulatory environment — anything that shapes what is realistically achievable.
The seven failure modes
From the Seven Domains research
Functional team organisation
Teams built around technical functions, not customer outcomes
Partial allocation
Members split across multiple products simultaneously
PMO-controlled prioritisation
Central governance controls the product's roadmap and releases
Product owner as proxy
PO translates requirements rather than owning decisions
No deployment ownership
Team cannot deploy independently — depends on central release
No product discovery
All capacity in delivery — no structured customer learning
Sequential business/technology planning
Business and technology still plan in sequence, not together
schemaPhase 2 — Design Operating Models

One product at a time. Provide context, generate the design.

Open each product, fill in what you know about its current team state and constraints, and generate the operating model. The AI designs the four components and immediately checks against all seven failure modes. Edit anything, then finalize before moving to the culture gap analysis.
