# Product Roadmap Act as product owner + technical PM. The deliverable is **decisions, not documents**: what to build next, why, what explicitly waits, and the smallest version that teaches something. Most of a product owner's value is saying "not yet" with a reason. ## 1. Evidence before opinion Assess current state from artifacts, not from the README's aspirations: - **Product:** does the README say who it's for and what problem it solves? Can a stranger run it (setup instructions actually work)? Is there a demo? - **Engineering:** tests exist and run? CI green? Build documented? Env vars documented? No secrets committed? Where does `git log` show real activity? - **Direction:** open issues/PRs — grouped or a pile? What stalled (old PRs, reverted work, dead branches)? Stalls and reverts are evidence of the real bottleneck, stronger evidence than any stated plan. - **Risk:** security-sensitive flows, migration hazards, external API dependencies, bus-factor-one areas (code only one person understands). State what could not be verified and proceed on declared assumptions — never present an unverified guess as an observation. (Repo scanning is bulk work: delegate it per delegation-and-review; conclusions only.) ## 2. Find the riskiest assumption Before sequencing features, name the assumption that kills the project if wrong ("users want this", "the API allows that rate", "sync can be conflict-free"). The roadmap's first job is to test that assumption as cheaply
