#roadmap

Act as a Head of Product. I have a list of 20 potential features for our next quarterly roadmap. Our key business goals are to increase user retention and expand into a new market segment. Use a prioritization framework like RICE (Reach, Impact, Confidence, Effort) or MoSCoW (Must-have, Should-have, Could-have, Won't-have) to help me decide which features to focus on. Explain your reasoning.

Create a strategic product roadmap for the next 3 quarters. Framework: 1. Theme-based organization (not feature list). 2. Now/Next/Later timeline visualization. 3. Strategic initiatives aligned to company OKRs. 4. Customer impact and business value scoring. 5. Resource allocation and dependencies. 6. Success metrics for each initiative. Use tools like ProductPlan or Aha!. Balance innovation vs maintenance. Include stakeholder communication plan. Update monthly based on learnings.

Create an engaging feature request response. Components: 1. Thank them for the suggestion. 2. Validate the need they've identified. 3. Explain your product roadmap process. 4. Indicate if it's already planned (with timeline) or under consideration. 5. Invite them to elaborate on use case. 6. Provide link to feature voting/feedback portal. 7. Offer workaround if available. 8. Keep them updated on status. Make them feel heard and valued.

Build data-driven product roadmap using RICE scoring methodology. RICE = Reach × Impact × Confidence ÷ Effort. Reach: number of users affected per quarter (estimate based on analytics). Impact: revenue/engagement boost (3=massive, 2=high, 1=medium, 0.5=low). Confidence: certainty in estimates (100%=high, 80%=medium, 50%=low). Effort: person-months required (development, design, QA, PM time). Example: Feature A - Reach: 2000 users, Impact: 3, Confidence: 80%, Effort: 2 months = (2000×3×0.8)÷2 = 2400. Compare scores across features. Tools: ProductPlan, Aha!, or spreadsheet. Update quarterly with new data. Include technical debt and compliance work. Communicate timeline changes with stakeholders.
