Prioritization is probably the biggest challenge for ops teams.
Say yes to everything—you pretty quickly become a service department.
Set your own priorities without input from the business—you can quickly find yourself irrelevant, even out of a job.
The best model that I've seen for tackling this problem is what we could call the product management approach to managing MarTech.
This is where you effectively treat your stack as an internal product and ops as a product management team working on delivering features for internal customers.
Today's guest has practiced this approach at enterprise scale, with an ops team dozens strong.
Josh Hill shares his insights and lessons learned, as well as his journey as one of the earliest and well-recognized experts in the Marketo community.
