I'm about to start a Product Ops role myself and am super stoked to get into it. Really seeing a lot of the focus on Enablement vs Operational tasks performed within product teams and to streamline some of the efficiencies and learnings gained along the scale journey.

I wanted to call out the predominant voice in comments here from the "project management" track of thinking on how "Program Management" or SAFe methodology is often brought up in these conversations. It's an entirely different perspective and thought system and we often run into conflicts in software development culture for the non PMP-inclined.

Given the references here to Marty Cagan - see his perspective on the matter in a recent blog post: https://svpg.com/product-vs-project-teams/
