First Principles in PMing: The Roadmap
summary
Company inherits a vision with big numeric goals and needs a concrete path from today to that future, so a rapid roadmap is built: five company “modes” and three team modes guide strategy, goals are force-rank priorities, and a notifications experiment uses machine learning to send fewer messages while preserving engagement. Process uses office hours, roadshows, and cloned docs per team with Google Forms feedback, links each initiative to measurable business metrics, and reserves quarter to a third on experiments plus time for technical debt and usability.
