The Ad. Product Backlog Management Course — Tools (2): Product Model Questionnaire

First of all, I wish you a Happy New Year! 🙏

In this update on the Advanced Product Backlog Management Course, I want to share a new tool with you: Product Operating Model Health Survey v1. (You download the PDF by clicking the link.)

This survey invites you to reflect on key enablers of a successful product operating model (POM). The goal is to capture how well your organization currently practices these enablers, highlight strengths, and uncover growth opportunities. The questionnaire is based on a new taxonomy of failure patterns for the product operating model, which is still in development.

I am eager to learn whether you consider the questionnaire helpful. Moreover, I would love it if you could point to missing issues or issues currently listed that should be removed. Of course, I would be thrilled if you could do the survey with one of your teams and share the feedback with me.
