Key Takeaways:
-
90 days is a good amount of time to plan for your roadmap. Any longer than that and things are subject to change.
-
“What would be stupid for us not to build within the next 90 days?” - A fantastic question to ask regarding product development.
-
For development meetings, invite the people who have your company’s values and future at heart.
-
Putting price tags on what you can achieve helps everyone understand why decisions are being made. - “Every yes is ten thousand no’s.”
-
Prioritizing your feature requests helps otherwise ignored ideas bubble up to the surface, where they can be discussed in depth.
-
Don’t forget about your strategy - don’t become a “feature factory”.
