service?• How can I improve my service?• What should I be building for them?• Is my service high quality, easy to use,
complete? • What can we eliminate or automate? • What are my “competitors” bringing to

Closing Thoughts
23
This is a big change, but…• We have a place to start with the Service Quality
Role• Teams already work together and WANT to see their
part of the big picture• There are well established Product Line Manager
best practices we can borrow• Creating a pilot Service Owner’s “workspace” with
these elements can help you show the future
