Ops Playbook
A documented set of procedures for handling common operational scenarios.
Definition
An ops playbook is a written guide that defines how your team handles every common (and uncommon) operational scenario: returns, damaged items, shipping delays, angry customers, subscription changes, influencer requests, and more.
Why It Matters for Shopify Brands
Without a playbook, every ops decision goes through the founder. With a playbook, a trained team makes consistent, brand-aligned decisions independently. The playbook is what enables ops delegation.
Benchmarks
A comprehensive ops playbook for a typical Shopify brand covers 30–60 scenarios. New scenarios should be added within 48 hours of a novel situation being resolved.
