The Outcome Team Restructure — Kill the Feature Factory

Impact Score

8/10

Difficulty

Time Investment

4-8 weeks restructure, 2-3 hours weekly

Description

Restructure product teams from "build features" to "own commercial outcomes" by giving each team a revenue or retention metric instead of a feature list. Pendo's CPO drove enterprise expansion by restructuring PMs to own commercial results, and Keyhole saw a 25% ARR increase applying the same principle. This forces your teams to think about impact rather than shipping more stuff nobody asked for.
