Strong product leaders never stop learning: there’s always a new approach to consider, a landscape shift to understand, or an innovative competitor to track. The beginning of a new year—with all of its attendant planning sessions and calibrations—is a perfect time to cultivate that learner’s mindset. As you plan 2023, you’re probably asking your team (and yourself) what you can do differently, and do better, this year.
With that in mind, we've put together a list of resources for your product ops toolkit, specifically designed to bring insight and fresh perspectives to your 2023 planning.
>The best product roadmap tools for your team
Resource #1: Product Teams Benchmark Report
Defining your product’s vision and strategy. Aligning your team around common goals. Delivering your product on time, and within budget. Every business is unique, but product leaders at large enterprises share many challenges—and stand to learn a lot from one another.
In this report, we surveyed over 700 product professionals to bring you the latest insights on how the best teams are achieving success. You'll find data-backed benchmarks that will help you set goals and plan for success in the new year. By understanding how other teams are structured, prioritizing their roadmaps, and measuring success, you can gain valuable insights and make informed decisions about your own product team's plans for 2023.

Resource #4: Insights-driven product development
Many product leaders struggle to keep their teams laser-focused on their customers. Siloed systems and disparate owners are often to blame, making it difficult to collect and interpret customer feedback. Without accessible customer insights, your team may be prioritizing the wrong initiatives, making ad hoc decisions, and duplicating work across the organization.
In this webinar, we will discuss the challenges and impact of siloed feedback on your business, provide best practices for centralizing feedback and triaging insights, and show demos of key product use cases such as UX research and gathering feedback.

Resource #5: How KOJ transformed their product development lifecycle
The Kamal Osman Jamjoom Group (KOJ), a global retailer with over 700 stores and 10 brands, experienced the pain of siloed, fractured organizations firsthand. The company relied on legacy processes and outdated tools that were unable to adapt to the needs of each brand, resulting in manual labor and conflicting data. This slowed down product execution and made it difficult for teams to stay aligned.
On Wednesday, December 14th, we’ll be joined by Osman Jamjoom, KOJ’s Head of Innovation and Omnichannel. Learn how KOJ transformed their global operations and product development systems using the Airtable Connected Apps Platform.
In this webinar, Osmam will be sharing how KOJ:
- Evaluated solutions to drive digital transformations across a global organization
- Built a single source of truth to manage their product development lifecycle and streamline cross-functional communications
- Saved 143,000 hours per year and doubled product velocity as a result of this digital transformation initiative
