Operating Model for Growth Stage

Operating Rhythm

Growth is driving a pooled staffing model which contains a prioritized list of initiatives focused on impacting Self-Serve (Web Direct) First Orders. Instead of maintaining traditional group boundaries, Product Management, UX, and Engineering resources will be flexibly assigned to top priorities using an agile kanban approach.
