This hub started as a conversation started by Graham Reed, to a group of Product Operations professionals from different organisations, experience and locales. This conversation initially was to validate if the function of Product Ops was maturing in the way those actively pioneering the role wanted to see, or if there was concern about what the role was being called to do, the lack of alignment in the general scope of the role and how much those building new, or hiring into, ProdOps teams understood the value of Product Operations.

The resounding agreement that there could be misalignment across many stakeholders and interested parties as Product Ops continues to evolve. And so, many of those involved in these conversations formed the 'Day Zero Project' as an initiative to bring definition, guidance and alignment on the emerging role of Product Operations globally. An inclusive collective of professionals of all experiences and career pathways, to discuss and produce a number of assets that will be used by the wider Product Operations & Product Management community to define the role, the scope of their role, their career trajectory as well as clear argument on how they can provide value to businesses. In addition, such assets can be used by businesses, employers and hiring managers to appropriately and effectively advertise and hire into suitable roles to provide the best value to the business.

The role of Product Operations is a strategic, yet supporting role, requiring a degree of flexibility both within any specific team as well as the role in general - no business is the same or has the same needs, and so any guidelines are taken as advise or aspirations.

These assets on this site are to guide the role globally into something reliable, valued and comparable company to company, sector to sector, for the benefit of both the individual as well as the businesses they work for.
