Welcome OCPD, the new product design team from Open Collective
👏👏👏👏
OCPD's remit covers our vision, our experience and some aspects of our brand, but we exist purely to serve the needs of our users.
How are we going to do that?
A solid foundation, and a scalable delivery team
Our team will build a foundation of data and analytical insight, a repository and pool of user feedback and understanding, and a platform for conveying a vision, rationalising our priorities and keeping track of your feedback as it progresses through the product process.
At the same time we will deliver for the wider team, on a project-by-project basis, by taking a scalable approach to resourcing work. We'll assign a product and a design representative to each project to act as the primary consultant. Their jobs will be to hand over context, convey understanding and consult on experience design.
The Team
BenJam, Team Lead, Product Manager and Executive Representative
Ben will be transitioning to spend more of his time leading the product design team as the Exec representative. He'll work as an 'individual contributor' IC managing products alongside Ronen and Hugi.
Memo, Head of Design
@Memo-Es will continue to lead the design team, collaborate with marketing and 'experience' to craft our brand image, and dive into projects as an IC designer on projects
Tomas, Experience Designer and User Research Lead
@tomsusemihl will lead our efforts to create a foundation of users and a process for validating and testing ideas that anyone can engage in, he will also IC more experience-driven project design.
Amina, Designer
Amina will continue as an IC designer, supporting teams on projects as the main representative from design.
Ronen, Product Manager and Process Lead
Ronen will continue to create the platform upon which we will base our process for rationalising our prioritise, scoping projects, gathering and integrating insights, and conveying progress. He will continue to manage projects as the IC product manager.
Hugi, Product Manager and Analytics Lead
Hugi will build a platform to gather insights from our audience, through our primary (database) and secondary (application state) data sources, he will work with the broader teaam to integrate business decisions into prouduct development and visa versa. He will also act as IC as a product manager.
Product is still everyone's responsbility
As I wrote a long time ago, product management is everyone's responsibility, and we want to bring you into that process as much as possible. In addition, it is a rejuvinating experience getting the products and services that we build in front of users, and we encourage every one of you to engage in those processes whenever you can.
@iamronen has already begun building a platform to gather your ideas, feedback and problems and track them through the product process. We will open this up to the public once we're happy with that process and willing to open the doors to the public.
@tomsusemihl is creating platforms (tools, policies, guidance) on which anyone can engage to test an assumption, gather feedback and otherwise build a basis for developing and testing a project with our users.
Similarly, Hugi will build a platform for anyone in the team to noodle on the data until they can be certain the investments they propose are backed up with data and that we are able to understand the impact of every. single. thing. we. build (please).
We look forward to supporting you and would love to see you getting as excited as we are about building a product that can change the world just a little bit.
Thanks
