Better Understand Your Product Org
Product Org DNA is a cloud based analytics platform that provides unique insights into product org operations.
It is based on a conceptual framework that asserts to be most effective as an org we need to understand the unique characteristics of our product teams.
To achieve this, we offer an assessment tool and analytics platform to help you understand your product organization better, and to reveal insights that are helpful to achieving success.
"Perfect" product market fit is a nirvana state we're always chasing. We never achieve it because customer needs are always changing, technology is always changing, the competitive landscape is always changing. Nonetheless, we are always striving to achieve the "perfect" product market fit.
The same should be true with our product orgs. New team members arrive, others leave. Skills, knowledge, experience, perceptions and culture are fluid. Should we accept the current state and "pave the cow path" or think strategically about where we want to go as an org? Of course, we should constantly strive to optimize our org for efficiency and effectiveness.
The Product Org DNA assessment helps individuals and organizations chase perfect product org design, through intentional awareness, strategy and design backed by metrics and milestones.
We instrument our products for data collection because we know of the importance of data when it comes to managing products. Now, we have the power to instrument our org, so that we can collect and analyze data, reveal insights, and discover opportunities.
In biology, DNA is the hereditary (transmitted from one generation to another) genetic material (in humans and almost all other organisms) that determine individual characteristics. It carries unique genetic information for the development and functioning of an organism. DNA contains the instructions needed for an organism to develop, survive and reproduce.
In companies, Product DNA is unique to every employee. It is their unique perspectives, skills and norms that guide that employee’s work. Employees routinely pass parts of their Product DNA to others in the org. The collective Product DNA is the culture of the org and carries the instructions needed for the org to operate and (hopefully) survive.
Leadership needs to first, understand their org's Product DNA and then put programs in place to shape and mature their org's future.
