Why is this so critical to Product Management and the larger maker organization?    IMHO, sorting backlogs and setting roadmaps based only on multi-column spreadsheets or cost of delay or WSJF is fundamentally flawed.     Product management malpractice.     Etc.

An essential role of CPOs and other product leaders that’s never listed in the job description is giving organizational 'air cover' to product managers to postpone almost all new requests — so that their teams can finish work already underway.    “ How hard could it be?

I get pulled into lots of discussions among product managers about the best ways to represent (and then present and present and present) roadmaps or backlogs, especially to internal sales/marketing/support audiences. Each functional group has its own product priorities, so each wants a different roadmap.

I have a narrow, somewhat puritanical view about product manager conversations with customers and prospects: we should never lie to them. That might seem obvious or naïve, but recent conversations with several B2B/enterprise clients suggest that it’s actually controversial. B2B is lumpier than B2C.).

Your product makes sense for your first few customers. You start spending a lot on marketing and bring in salespeople if you are in B2B (even if you go with product-led growth you would need salespeople, but maybe at a later stage). You do what it takes to keep them happy and learn a ton along the way. It’s time to grow.

But the level at which we need to do so changes dramatically over the course of a product person’s career, and the transition is not always easy. Here are three levels — each relevant to a different stage in your career and your product.

In a B2B environment, the sales team often interfaces with buyers. Existing clients, as well as sales prospects, become influencers on the product roadmap. Salespeople listen to those unwilling to buy a product unless specific features get added. So how does a product manager manage that friction?
