Organizational evolution: From products to user needs
summary
Claims a concrete path: Flo Health moves from functional teams to product teams to a Jobs‑to‑be‑Done user‑centric model while serving 70M+ monthly users, using reverse Conway maneuver, Team Topologies and service mapping, building a content tooling platform so non‑engineers can configure journeys, and documenting changes with organizational decision records (AARs). Outcome metrics include a jump in onboarding experiments up from 20% to 87% deployable without engineers, looser coupling, clearer domain boundaries, and faster experiment velocity.
