Product Centre of Excellence

Better product management, better products.

This is the home of product practice at Ampol Group. The Playbook gives you the guidance and tools to do product work well. The Library shows what we manage, who owns it, and how it is performing. The Centre of Excellence partners with Business Units to lift capability across the practice.

What the Centre of Excellence is

From the CoE Charter โ†’

Better product management means better products, and better products mean more value for customers and more revenue for Ampol Group. The Centre of Excellence exists to make that happen.

The CoE owns the product management practice โ€” the model, the methods, the Playbook and the Library that define how Ampol manages products. It does not own the products themselves. Those stay with the Business Units, along with the decisions about them.

The CoE works alongside Business Units as a partner. It engages proactively rather than waiting to be invited, and it shares in the outcomes of the support it provides. It is here to build capability, not to act as a gate.

In one line

The CoE owns the practice. Business Units own their products. We work together to lift both.

Every engagement is scoped with the BU through a framing document, so the work is agreed, useful and worth the team's time.

How the CoE works with Business Units

The four ways the Centre of Excellence partners with Business Units to manage products.
01

Owns the practice

Owner of product practice and the Group-wide portfolio view. The Playbook and Library are maintained here.

02

Partners with BUs

Works alongside the business and shares in the outcomes. Ownership of products stays with the Business Unit.

03

Engages proactively

Engages by right at lifecycle moments, not only when invited โ€” but always scoped through a framing document.

04

Builds capability

Reviews are run in partnership. The aim is stronger BU product management, not approval checkpoints.

The four product domains

How the products are grouped across the organisation.

The six product management stages

The stages every product moves through, from first idea to retirement.
