Team structure and operating rhythm for data product teams. Product squads, Shape Up 6-week cycles, handoff contracts, and role assignments by lifecycle stage. Use when organizing a data team, planning data product development cycles, defining roles and responsibilities, improving team handoffs, or when someone asks "how should we structure our data team?" or "why do we keep losing context between discovery and delivery?".
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
## Product Squad Structure Use this four-role model as one option. Fit accountabilities to the actual team and decision rights; one person may cover several roles. | Role | Owns | Veto Authority | |------|------|---------------| | Product Manager | Strategy, prioritization, stakeholder alignment | Business viability | | Tech Lead | Architecture, infrastructure, technical feasibility | Technical direction | | Design Lead | UX, usability, information design | User experience | | Data Lead | Data quality, ethics, data engineering | Ethical concerns | Agree on escalation and stop-work rights with the organization.

The following is an example, not a required schedule. **Cycle structure:** - 2 weeks shaping (before the cycle): PM and Data Lead define the problem, set the appetite - 6 weeks building (the cycle): squad executes with fixed time, variable scope …

How to install
mdr add hollandkevint/data-product-operator/data-team-operating-model@sha256:63aabcdee869eccdThe line at the top of this page pins the label v0.1.1, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
