Workflows

Workflow 1: Feature Prioritization & Roadmap Planning

Goal: Prioritize feature backlog using RICE framework and generate quarterly roadmap

Steps:

  1. Gather Feature Requests - Collect from multiple sources:

    • Customer feedback (support tickets, interviews)
    • Sales team requests
    • Technical debt items
    • Strategic initiatives
    • Competitive gaps
  2. Create RICE Input CSV - Structure features with RICE parameters:

    feature,reach,impact,confidence,effort
    User Dashboard,500,3,0.8,5
    API Rate Limiting,1000,2,0.9,3
    Dark Mode,300,1,1.0,2
    
    • Reach: Number of users affected per quarter
    • Impact: massive(3), high(2), medium(1.5), low(1), minimal(0.5)
    • Confidence: high(1.0), medium(0.8), low(0.5)
    • Effort: person-months (XL=6, L=3, M=1, S=0.5, XS=0.25)
  3. Run RICE Prioritization - Execute analysis with team capacity

    python ../../product-team/skills/product-manager-toolkit/scripts/rice_prioritizer.py features.csv --capacity 20
    
  4. Analyze Portfolio - Review output for:

    • Quick Wins: High RICE, low effort (ship first)
    • Big Bets: High RICE, high effort (strategic investments)
    • Fill-Ins: Medium RICE (capacity fillers)
    • Money Pits: Low RICE, high effort (avoid or revisit)
  5. Generate Quarterly Roadmap:

    • Q1: Top quick wins + 1-2 big bets
    • Q2-Q4: Remaining prioritized features
    • Buffer: 20% capacity for unknowns
  6. Stakeholder Alignment - Present roadmap with:

    • RICE scores as justification
    • Trade-off decisions explained
    • Capacity constraints visible

Expected Output: Data-driven quarterly roadmap with RICE-justified priorities and portfolio balance

491### Workflow 7: Competitive Intelligence
492 
493**Goal:** Build competitive analysis matrices to identify market positioning and feature gaps
494 
495**Steps:**
4961. **Identify Competitors** - Map the competitive landscape:
497 - Direct competitors (same category, same audience)
498 - Indirect competitors (different category, same job-to-be-done)
499 - Emerging threats (startups, adjacent products)
500 
5012. **Gather Competitive Data** - Structure competitor information in CSV:
502 ```csv
503 competitor,feature_1,feature_2,feature_3,pricing,market_share
504 Competitor A,yes,partial,no,$49/mo,35%
505 Competitor B,yes,yes,yes,$99/mo,25%
506 Our Product,yes,no,partial,$39/mo,15%
507 ```
508 
5093. **Build Competitive Matrix** - Generate visual comparison
510 ```bash
511 python ../../product-team/skills/competitive-teardown/scripts/competitive_matrix_builder.py competitors.csv
512 ```
513 
5144. **Analyze Gaps** - Identify strategic opportunities:
515 - Feature parity gaps (what competitors have that we lack)
516 - Differentiation opportunities (where we can lead)
517 - Pricing positioning (value vs premium vs budget)
518 - Underserved segments (unmet user needs)
519 
5205. **Feed Into Prioritization** - Use gaps to inform roadmap
521 ```bash
522 # Add competitive gap features to RICE analysis
523 python ../../product-team/skills/product-manager-toolkit/scripts/rice_prioritizer.py competitive-features.csv --capacity 20
524 ```
525 
5266. **Track Over Time** - Update competitive matrix quarterly:
527 - Monitor competitor launches and pricing changes
528 - Re-run matrix builder with updated data
529 - Adjust positioning strategy based on market shifts
530 
531**Expected Output:** Competitive analysis matrix with feature comparison, gap analysis, and prioritized list of competitive features for the roadmap
532 
533**Time Estimate:** 1-2 days for initial matrix, 2-4 hours for quarterly updates
534 
535**Example:**
536```bash
537# Full competitive intelligence workflow
538python ../../product-team/skills/competitive-teardown/scripts/competitive_matrix_builder.py q4-competitors.csv > competitive-matrix.md
539 
540# Prioritize competitive gap features
541python ../../product-team/skills/product-manager-toolkit/scripts/rice_prioritizer.py gap-features.csv --capacity 12 > competitive-roadmap.txt
