@elena_opreag 1. Pay attention user feedback in communities and via email.
2. Pay attention to usage metrics and where users are getting stuck in order to identify space of innovation/features
3. Conduct surveys
4. Do 1-1's with selected user groups.

Launching soon!
100% agree, efficient iteration based on user feedback makes a product active and win great potential
true... only if you can effort having an ever-evolving roadmap :) many teams couldn't make it till the end 😭

@alanchristophx Indeed, it's a sad reality, But you learn, make a note and build another one with better ideas in place.

Yes very true
Yes, evolving roadmaps are essential for crafting products that truly meet customer needs
I noticed that adapting a roadmap is like fine-tuning a recipe it always makes the product better.
During a side project I worked on, our roadmap felt like it was changing every week.

@ijeoma_florence Can happen and can get super overwhelming. It's natural for a team to feel shaken up in the initial days while adopting a new structure. But it's important to address the gaps, strengths and make it more streamlined in the subsequent weeks.
Remember: Communication is the key.
I remember a time when I tried sticking to the plan no matter what it didn't work out.

@john_davis28 Probably good for the initial launch but only if the initial launch is less than 3-4 weeks. Beyond that we should always build, take space, adapt and act.
When I worked on startup, our roadmap changed almost every quater.
100%! By continuously refining the product based on real-world usage and insights, we can create something truly impactful!
In one of my past projects, sticking to a rigid roadmap backfired. The best results came when we adjusted it based on real feedback.
I've always found that the best roadmaps I've worked with had room for unexpected detours.
Absolutely! A well evolved roadmap ensures that products keep growing with user needs and market changes
Exactly! As product needs change roadmaps that evolve ensure me stay connected to the core vision

@sawyer_matthews Now that's a great point in here. Adapting is fine but it should not go beyond the Product Vision. True. VERY CRUCIAL POINT.
From personal experience, roadmaps should be flexible.
I see evolving roadmaps as an ongoing conversation between creators and users.
Speech to Note
@india_lane Indeed, it has to be conversational. After all it's a way to communicate our ideas with our users.
Keeping my roadmap flexible has helped me tackle challenges more effectively.

@_philip_barrett Fantastic Phil. What are you working on lately?
When I revisit my roadmap regularly, the product always improves.
