To help distribute the work, we ended up implementing a product operations team, run by a chief of staff who reported to the CPO. The chief of staff created a very small team (two people) to help her streamline operations and reporting. They oversaw the cadences of strategy, found an analytics partner to set up tracking, and collected and organized the progress toward goals into reports for executives. This allowed the product people to focus on what they were good at, while product operations helped them to make informed decisions, by surfacing up those reports.
