The CPO's Core Responsibilities

CPO的核心职责

The CPO owns three things. Everything else is delegation.

Responsibility	What It Means	Reference
Portfolio	Which products exist, which get investment, which get killed	`references/product_strategy.md`
Vision	Where the product is going in 3-5 years and why customers care	`references/product_strategy.md`
Org	The team structure that can actually execute the vision	`references/product_org_design.md`
PMF	Measuring, achieving, and not losing product-market fit	`references/pmf_playbook.md`
Metrics	North star → leading → lagging hierarchy, board reporting	This file

CPO负责三大核心事项，其余均为授权工作。

职责	具体含义	参考资料
产品组合	现有产品构成、获投产品、淘汰产品	`references/product_strategy.md`
愿景	产品3-5年的发展方向及对客户的价值	`references/product_strategy.md`
组织架构	能够落地愿景的团队结构	`references/product_org_design.md`
PMF	衡量、达成并维持产品市场匹配	`references/pmf_playbook.md`
指标体系	北极星→领先指标→滞后指标的层级架构、董事会汇报	本文档

Diagnostic Questions

诊断问题

These questions expose whether you have a strategy or a list.

Portfolio:

Which product is the dog? Are you killing it or lying to yourself?
If you had to cut 30% of your portfolio tomorrow, what stays?
What's your portfolio's combined D30 retention? Is it trending up?

PMF:

What's your retention curve for your best cohort?
What % of users would be "very disappointed" if your product disappeared?
Is organic growth happening without you pushing it?

Org:

Can every PM articulate your north star and how their work connects to it?
When did your last product trio do user interviews together?
What's blocking your slowest team — the people or the structure?

Strategy:

If you could only ship one thing this quarter, what is it and why?
What's your moat in 12 months? In 3 years?
What's the riskiest assumption in your current product strategy?

这些问题可帮你判断是否拥有真正的战略，而非简单的任务清单。

产品组合:

哪款产品是“瘦狗”？你是打算淘汰它还是自欺欺人？
如果明天必须砍掉30%的产品组合，哪些会保留？
你的产品组合整体D30留存率是多少？是否呈上升趋势？

PMF:

你最佳用户群组的留存曲线是怎样的？
如果你的产品消失，有多少用户会“非常失望”？
无需推动的情况下，是否存在自然增长？

组织架构:

每位产品经理能否清晰阐述北极星指标及其工作与该指标的关联？
你的产品三人组上次共同开展用户访谈是什么时候？
最慢的团队受阻的原因是人员问题还是结构问题？

战略:

如果本季度只能发布一项内容，会是什么？原因是什么？
12个月后你的护城河是什么？3年后呢？
当前产品战略中风险最高的假设是什么？

Product Metrics Hierarchy

产品指标层级

North Star Metric (1, owned by CPO)
  ↓ explains changes in
Leading Indicators (3-5, owned by PMs)
  ↓ eventually become
Lagging Indicators (revenue, churn, NPS)

North Star rules: One number. Measures customer value delivered, not revenue. Every team can influence it.

Good North Stars by business model:

Model	North Star Example
B2B SaaS	Weekly active accounts using core feature
Consumer	D30 retained users
Marketplace	Successful transactions per week
PLG	Accounts reaching "aha moment" within 14 days
Data product	Queries run per active user per week

北极星指标（1个，由CPO负责）
  ↓ 可解释其变化的
领先指标（3-5个，由产品经理负责）
  ↓ 最终会转化为
滞后指标（收入、客户流失率、NPS）

北极星指标规则: 仅一个数值。衡量为客户交付的价值，而非收入。每个团队都能对其产生影响。

不同商业模式下的优质北极星指标:

模式	北极星指标示例
B2B SaaS	使用核心功能的周活跃账户数
消费级产品	D30留存用户数
平台型产品	每周成功交易数
PLG（产品驱动增长）	14天内达到“惊喜时刻”的账户数
数据产品	每位活跃用户每周运行的查询数

Investment Postures

投资姿态

Every product gets one: Invest / Maintain / Kill. "Wait and see" is not a posture — it's a decision to lose share.

Posture	Signal	Action
Invest	High growth, strong or growing retention	Full team. Aggressive roadmap.
Maintain	Stable revenue, slow growth, good margins	Bug fixes only. Milk it.
Kill	Declining, negative or flat margins, no recovery path	Set a sunset date. Write a migration plan.

每个产品需明确以下一种姿态：投资/维持/淘汰。“观望”并非姿态——而是一种会导致市场份额流失的决策。

姿态	信号	行动
投资	高增长、留存率强劲或持续提升	配置完整团队，制定激进路线图。
维持	收入稳定、增长缓慢、利润率良好	仅修复漏洞，充分挖掘现有价值。
淘汰	收入下滑、利润率为负或持平、无复苏路径	设置终止日期，制定迁移方案。

Red Flags

预警信号

Portfolio:

Products that have been "question marks" for 2+ quarters without a decision
Engineering capacity allocated to your highest-revenue product but your highest-growth product is understaffed
More than 30% of team time on products with declining revenue

PMF:

You have to convince users to keep using the product
Support requests are mostly "how do I do X" rather than "I want X to also do Y"
D30 retention is below 20% (consumer) or 40% (B2B) and not improving

Org:

PMs writing specs and handing to design, who hands to engineering (waterfall in agile clothing)
Platform team has a 6-week queue for stream-aligned team requests
CPO has not talked to a real customer in 30+ days

Metrics:

North star going up while retention is going down (metric is wrong)
Teams optimizing their own metrics at the expense of company metrics
Roadmap built from sales requests, not user behavior data

产品组合:

连续2个季度以上被列为“问号”但未做决策的产品
工程资源分配给最高收入产品，但最高增长产品人手不足
超过30%的团队时间投入到收入下滑的产品

PMF:

你需要说服用户继续使用产品
支持请求大多是“如何操作X”而非“希望X还能实现Y”
D30留存率低于20%（消费级）或40%（B2B）且无改善

组织架构:

产品经理撰写需求文档交给设计，设计再交给开发（披着敏捷外衣的瀑布模式）
平台团队处理业务对齐团队的请求需等待6周
CPO超过30天未与真实客户交流

指标:

北极星指标上升但留存率下降（指标设定错误）
团队为优化自身指标而损害公司整体指标
路线图基于销售请求制定，而非用户行为数据

Proactive Triggers

主动触发场景

Surface these without being asked when you detect them in company context:

Retention curve not flattening → PMF at risk, raise before building more
Feature requests piling up without prioritization framework → propose RICE/ICE
No user research in 90+ days → product team is guessing
NPS declining quarter over quarter → dig into detractor feedback
Portfolio has a "dog" everyone avoids discussing → force the kill/invest decision

当在公司语境中检测到以下情况时，无需询问主动提出：

留存曲线未趋于平稳 → PMF面临风险，在继续开发前提出预警
功能请求堆积但无优先级框架 → 建议采用RICE/ICE框架
超过90天未开展用户研究 → 产品团队正在凭猜测做决策
NPS连续季度下滑 → 深入分析贬损者反馈
产品组合存在大家都回避讨论的“瘦狗”产品 → 推动淘汰/投资决策

Reasoning Technique: First Principles

推理方法：第一性原理

Decompose to fundamental user needs. Question every assumption about what customers want. Rebuild from validated evidence, not inherited roadmaps.

拆解至核心用户需求。质疑所有关于客户需求的假设。基于验证过的证据重建战略，而非依赖继承的路线图。
