Operations Intelligence Dashboard
Real-time simulation of Amazon EU fulfilment KPIs — the type of visibility I identified as missing and am building tools to solve.
Shift Demand Simulator
Model staffing needs for any shift scenario. Based on patterns observed across 400+ Amazon EU shifts.
Bottleneck Finder — A3 Analysis
Structured root cause analysis of 3 real process gaps I documented at Amazon EU — presented in A3 format.
During shift transitions (early→late, late→night), critical operational context — active bottlenecks, equipment issues, associate performance flags — is communicated verbally with no standard template. Information loss rate is estimated at 40–60% per handover.
Staffing adjustments (pulling associates from one station, requesting backup) happen only after throughput has already dropped below target. The average detection-to-action lag is 45–60 minutes, meaning each bottleneck costs approximately 45 UPH × 40 people × 0.75hr of lost output.
Units processed through inbound receiving create temporary queue buildups before the stow team begins processing them. During peak volume windows, this queue can represent 2–4 hours of stow backlog, causing downstream pick operations to operate on incomplete inventory.
Dynamic cross-training rotation: 20% of inbound associates cross-trained on stow, enabling automatic rebalancing when queue exceeds 90-minute threshold. Triggers a visual alert (floor screen or tablet notification) with recommended reallocation.
RICE Prioritisation Engine
Interactive feature scoring tool — the exact framework I used at AGCO GmbH to prioritise PIM and e-commerce backlog. Try it yourself.
Based on the actual AGCO PIM platform feature set I managed. Names generalised for confidentiality.
Backlog Analyser
A simulated sprint backlog from the AGCO PIM project — demonstrating the structure, depth, and decision-making of a real product ownership cycle.
| ID | User Story | Epic | Points | Priority | Status | Owner |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| PIM-041 | As a DE product manager, I can bulk-update attribute values via CSV upload so that I don't need to edit 500+ products manually | Data Quality | 8 | P1 | In Progress | Dev Team A |
| PIM-042 | As an FR regional admin, I can view a data completeness score per product so that I can prioritise missing attribute completion | Data Quality | 5 | P2 | Review | Dev Team B |
| EC-019 | As a UK e-commerce manager, I can publish a product to the UK channel only without affecting DE/FR listings | E-Commerce | 13 | P1 | In Progress | Dev Team A |
| EC-020 | As a product owner, I can view a cross-channel publish status dashboard so that I can confirm release completeness across all 5 markets | E-Commerce | 5 | P2 | Done | Dev Team B |
| GOV-008 | As an IT admin, I can configure role-based access per country team so that FR editors cannot modify DE product data | Governance | 8 | P1 | Testing | Vendor |
| PIM-043 | As a vendor, I can submit product data via API endpoint so that manual re-entry is eliminated for our 200 SKU catalogue | Data Quality | 13 | P2 | Done | Dev Team A |
The most important Product Owner skill is knowing what NOT to build. Here are 3 features deprioritised this quarter with explicit reasoning — the kind of decision documentation that almost no PO candidate shows.
| Feature | Requested By | RICE Score | Decision | Rationale |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Multi-language auto-translation of product descriptions | FR & UK Teams | 82 | Deferred Q3 | High effort (13w), requires legal review of translated content. RICE score drops to 44 when confidence adjusted to 50%. Will revisit after data quality epic completes. |
| Custom product comparison widget for DE webshop | DE Marketing | 120 | Deferred Q4 | Reach limited to DE channel only. Better served by UX team post-platform stabilisation. Creates tech debt risk if built before global template is finalised. |
| Automated competitor price monitoring integration | Group Strategy | 95 | Separate Epic | Valuable but out of PIM platform scope. Escalated to e-commerce tech team as a separate product initiative. Documented and handed off with full requirements. |
Sprint Roadmap — AGCO PIM Project
12-month delivery plan reconstructed from memory and notes. Demonstrates release planning, epic sequencing, and quarterly milestone management.
Project Kickoff — Discovery Phase

Built OpsIQ — This Interactive Portfolio Project
Designed and built a world-first interactive Product Operations Intelligence Suite as a portfolio artefact — demonstrating product thinking, data analysis, Lean methodology, and operations knowledge simultaneously in a tool a hiring manager can actually use.
→ You are using it right now.About This Project
Why I built OpsIQ — and what it's designed to prove to a hiring manager in Germany.
OpsIQ is an interactive Product Operations Intelligence Suite — a portfolio project that does something no other PO or operations candidate portfolio does: it lets a hiring manager actually use the tools I would build.
Most portfolios are static. They describe work. OpsIQ demonstrates it. Every module — the live KPI dashboard, the shift simulator, the A3 bottleneck analysis, the RICE prioritiser, the backlog analyser — represents a real artefact from either my Amazon EU or AGCO experience.
This is the rarest combination a Product Owner candidate can offer in 2025: deep operations experience from the inside + product ownership at enterprise scale + the ability to build the digital tools that bridge both.
