Products@Ampol

The home of product practice at Ampol Group.

Products@Ampol is how we manage products across the Group — a shared system built from the experience of Ampol's own product people. It brings together the practice, the tools and the portfolio view in one place, so every team can do better product work for our customers. At its centre is the Product Centre of Excellence, working with Business Units to lift capability, alongside a growing Community of Practice where product people learn from each other.

How Products@Ampol works

Business Units own their products and the decisions that affect them. Around them, the Centre of Excellence provides proactive support to help produce better product outcomes, including ways to build capability together and the tools for the job. Here's how the parts fit, with more on each below.

Products@Ampol system model: Business Units and their outcomes at the centre, surrounded by the ways the Centre of Excellence builds capability (Partnering, Learning, Community) and the tools for the job (Playbook, Library), all held within the Centre of Excellence which owns the practice and the tools.

The Centre of Excellence

From the CoE Charter →

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 — 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 at key moments in a product's life, and it can also be invited in whenever a team wants support. It shares in the outcomes of the work, and it is here to build capability, not to act as a gate.

It builds capability in three ways: partnering with teams on the work, learning through Product 101 and coaching, and a Community of Practice where product people share and improve together. Every engagement is scoped with the Business Unit, so the work is agreed, useful and worth the team's time.

How we define products

The product model distinguishes three complementary elements: products, enablers and magnifiers. The distinction gives a clearer view of ownership, value and governance.
The core offer

Product

Offerings directly bought, subscribed to, or consumed by customers that generate value and revenue.

Supports the product

Enabler

Systems, capabilities and infrastructure that allow products to function and scale.

Extends the product

Magnifier

Amplifies reach, differentiation and competitiveness through mechanisms such as brand, marketing, loyalty and promotions.

The four product areas

Products are grouped into four customer experience domains. This is a portfolio lens for organising and aligning product work across the business, not a change to reporting lines.

The Playbook and the Library

Two elements of the system you'll use most: the Playbook for how to do the work, the Library for what we manage.
