P4-Ops describes the Operation of an organization. It is divided into the following areas:
- Sales and Marketing
- Supply chain (purchasing, production, shipping
- Application Engineering, Service, Support/Hotline, Trainings
- Infrastructure Services (IT, HR, accounting and site management)
The P4-Ops framework is sufficient for organizations without product development.
In combination with the P4-Dev Framework, which describes the area of product development, complete product creating organizations are modeled. The two frameworks share the areas of Infrastructure Services, Skills & Education and the Organization Management Circle.
