Move from Tactical to Strategic Design
summary
Shows how to bootstrap DesignOps without a dedicated team by turning design work into repeatable offerings and concrete rituals. Introduces a connecting the dots framework to map decision intersections across design PM and engineering, uses value based roadmaps and backlog grooming to break an autocorrect feature into V1–V3 steps, and demonstrates creating five sprints of work ahead for a groups feature to earn time. Recommends marketing horizons mountains plains offerings, tracking quarterly distribution, and designing slightly more than a sprint to shift from tactical to strategic.
