I like talking about design operations as the craft of designing how designers design — rituals, planning, communications, decision-making, exit row checks, RoB — because how we work is so important to team health and so deeply connected to outcomes
When I led product, I pretty much also managed the engineering team and we designed how we work, our rituals (asynch & synch), communication expectations and how we made decisions. We’d revisit this time to time as the team grew. But designing how you work is critical to your success as a team.

Focus on the process. In an outcome-driven world, this sounds like a crazy approach.
Obviously results matter. But if you optimize for the outcome, you win one time.
If you optimize for a process that leads to great outcomes, you can win again and again.

I love the concept of "eigenquestion". A question that, when answered, likely answers the subsequent q's as well.
As an Ops, my favorite eigenquestion: What would this look like if it were easy?

Product planning can be painful. BUT done well, it empowers and aligns people around key investments the company needs to make on a given horizon.
This year, I got to reduce the pain at Zapier.

Honestly never really loved the term ‘Dogfooding’, imagery just feels too vulgar and explicitly non-human. I largely prefer the joyful connotations of ‘drinking your own champagne’ 🥂
