Organization by Type of Product Work

A common organization structure is to separate teams based on the type of work they are doing:t

• the innovation pillar working on new products.
• the core pillar trying to strengthen the core product with additional features and maintaining the core.
• the growth pillar trying to grow overall usage of the current product.
• the platform pillar working on internal features that support other product and engineering teams to allow them to scale.

The organizational structures can be quite stable.
