Overcoming the challenges of Product Org Transformation
The transformation of a product organization presents several hurdles that lead to failure if not addressed effectively.
Process Clarity and Governance
Cross-functional teams regularly struggle due to ill-defined planning and collaboration models. Bureaucratic processes and insufficient governance lead to inefficiencies and misalignment.
Alignment in Complex Structures
As teams grow and organize in more hybrid structures, ensuring alignment between units and with overall goals becomes more challenging.
Capabilities for Team Autonomy
Teams need new skills and tools to operate autonomously within value streams, driving outcome-oriented planning and prioritization.
Budgeting and Resource Allocation
Coordinating resources in a product org structure can lead to budget overruns and unexpected costs due to miscommunication and misaligned goals.
“Nearly 75% of cross-functional teams are dysfunctional.”
