We need more features. no.
You built everything.
They use three things.
Ship less, on purpose.
Every feature you add without killing one is a tax on the thing your product actually does well. The fix isn't a roadmap. It's a knife.
Why the roadmap isn't the answer
The "build more features" delusion
Your roadmap reads: Q1 integrations, Q2 advanced reporting, Q3 mobile app, Q4 AI recommendations. Meanwhile, most of your users haven't finished onboarding. They're not asking for more. They're asking for the core value to be obvious.
Sixty percent haven't finished onboarding and you're planning Q4
Nobody's asking for AI recommendations. They're asking where the button is that does the one thing they came here for.
Eighty percent of your features get touched by nobody
Every one of those was a real decision, a real sprint, real money. Usage data doesn't lie. Roadmaps do.
Your demo needs thirty minutes to make sense
If explaining your product requires a guided tour, the product isn't earning its keep. The pitch is doing the job the interface should be doing.
Three steps to cut it down to size
Pull the usage data, not the opinions
Rank every feature by how many people actually touch it in a week. The bottom half is your kill list candidates.
Write a kill memo for one feature this week
Not a debate, a decision. What it cost, who used it, why it's going. Send it before you talk yourself out of it.
Make the core path impossible to miss
Whatever the few things people actually use are, put them where a stranger finds them in ten seconds. Everything else moves back or goes.
