Before You Start Prioritising …. Before you order the roadmap items, double-check that you have a validated product strategy in place. You should be able to confidently say why users would want to use your product and why it is worthwhile for your company to invest in it. In other words, you should have valid answers to the following questions: Which user problem will the product solve, or which benefit will it provide?

Take a minute and go read a few of your product web pages or a piece of product literature. They’re well-worded, proper and grammatically correct, which also means they probably lack emotion. In this day and age where buying decisions are 50-80% made (depending on the study) before prospects ever engage, establishing an immediate emotional connection is a must.

Every meeting I have with leaders about customer success starts pretty much the same: “Nick, before we get started, I want to let you know that our business is a little different from most typical companies.”.

Many of my clients use an iteration-based agile approach. And, they have these problems: They “push” too much into an iteration. They use velocity, not cycle time to estimate.
